Student Council
OLP Student Council had a great year.  Student Council supplied the paper for the OLPost Gazette, donated pencils and candy for Red Ribbon Week, and sponsored the mock elections in November.  We were also able to raise over $5,700 for five different worthy causes.  We thank everyone in the OLP family for their extraordinary generosity throughout the school year!

We would like to thank the Student Council for a job well done, especially the four outgoing officers - Kayla Kolodychak, Emily Hamilton, Emily Zukowski, and Kaitlyn Mang.

The new OLP Student Council officers for the 2013-2014 school year are Sara Prischak - president, Joe Mischler - vice president, Amanda Reichert - secretary, and Victoria Sanders - treasurer.  Congratulations to all!
 
SAC Openings

SAC members are elected and serve a three year term.  Candidates must have a child enrolled at Our Lady of Peace School in Grades K-7 for the 2013-2014 school year. Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month in the evening.
