October Dress Down
Eighteen year old Alyssa Josephine O'Neill, sister of OLP 4 year old preschool student, Jase O'Neill, died suddenly on September 4th from an epileptic seizure, but her parents have found a way to keep the memory of their oldest daughter alive.
It's a story that centers around coffee and paying it forward. You may have seen it on the news and throughout social media. The #ajo has now made its appearance in many countries around the world to raise awareness for epilepsy.
OLP will donate all of the money collected on October 9, 2013, from our monthly dress down day to epilepsy in honor of #ajo. You can dress down in purple, the color for epilepsy awareness, if you wish, for any amount of money you would like to donate.

Middle School Youth Group (grades 7 & 8)
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that I can no longer chair the OLP Middle School Youth Group. I am looking for someone to chair the monthly meetings. I will be more than happy to help behind the scenes and have electronic copies of all of the handouts and forms - so that part will be so much easier. If anyone is interested in taking over this greatly worthwhile group, please contact Kathy Roach at kathyroach66@gmail.com.
