Jump/Hoops for Heart
AHA HOOPS/JUMP EVENT AT OLP ~ A SUCCESS!
The American Heart Association Hoops (basketball) and Jump (jumprope) event held during the last physical education class of February was a GREAT success. Our Lady of Peace students raised over $3,000 for the AHA. Way to go OLP!
The American Heart Association funds educational programs and research dealing with preventing and finding a cure for heart disease. Several students participated in the event in memory of a loved one and most said they knew of someone with heart disease. This made the event and the cause something personal for many students.
This year we also had a number of students utilize the online feature for seeking donations. I plan to use even more ideas in the future to help the event grow and become an OLP tradition.

Eighth Graders and Parents
The Eighth Grade Performance of Jesus Christ Superstar is just one week away!! Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 1:30p.m. in the OLP Church.
8th Grade Graduation Update The next Decorating Committee Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 26, 2013, beginning at 6:30p.m. in the Social Room. Anyone is welcome to attend. Rumor has it that arts and crafts will be happening and no artistic experience is needed. Any questions, please contact your Decorating Chairs of Liz Swantek or Jen Wallen.
Also, I was thinking that not everyone knows what happens AFTER the Graduation Dance (unless you are nosy like me). After the Graduation Dance ends at 11:00ish, all of the graduates go bowling (place TBD). After that, they go out to breakfast. So .... naps for the parents seems to be in order so that we are able to drive them around:-) We may also need to go into work a bit late on Tuesday, that is for sure!
Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Chairs, either Kathy Roach or Andy Chaney.

SPIRITUAL/SERVICE OBLIGATIONS: Julia Cooney will be sending to you under separate cover, an update on where your child stands with regard to fulfilling their spiritual and service obligations.
