Caring Tree

We are blessed to be in a Catholic school and to share our catholic values, beliefs and gifts. This Christmas season we want to reach out to members of the OLP School and sponsor a Caring Tree for our own families.

 

If you have experienced financial challenges, we want to assist you. This will be totally confidential and handled through the Principal, Miss Mary Beth Ek. No one other than the Principal will be made aware of any of the names of families and/or children. If you are a family in need, please contact Miss Ek via email at mbek@olpcrusaders.org or by sending a note into school in a sealed envelope with her name on it. We want to help you with the essentials this holiday season: a Christmas meal, clothing, coats, hats, scarves, etc. Please let us know the gender and ages of members of your family and items needed.

 

A tree will be placed in the main lobby of the school from Monday, November 18th through December 9th. The tree will be decorated with Doves which have the items that are needed by our families. Please take one of the Doves and purchase and return the wrapped items to Miss Ek's office by December 13th with the tag attached to the items.

 

Gifts will be distributed through the church office December 16th-20th   (in confidentiality). If you have any questions about being a recipient family, please contact Miss Ek.   If you have questions regarding purchasing gifts, please contact Michelle Bruschi email psu22michelle@aol.com or via cell phone 814-323-1779.

Girls' Night Out ~ Save the Date!
Girls' Night Out is returning on Thursday November 14.  Girls' Night Out is a group open to girls in 4th to 8th grade.  Last year we did crafts, cooking, service projects and had speakers come in to meet with us but most of all we had FUN!.   The group meets once per month with occasional dues based on the activities.  The first meeting is planned for next Thursday, November 24, 2013.  More information will come next week!

OLP 7th & 8th Grade Youth Group
Service Opportunity 

Just a reminder for those students that are scheduled to assist with the Bingo Service activity at Elmwood Presbyterian Lodge on Wednesday, November 6, 2013, that you will need to be there by 6:00pm and can be picked up at 8:00pm.  (2628 Elmwood)

 

There will be another opportunity for students to assist with Bingo at Elmwood Presbyterian Lodge on Saturday, November 23, 2013 from 1:00-3:00.  Since there were more than 6 students who turned in permission releases for the November 6, 2013  Bingo activity, we will try to prioritize those students for the upcoming November 23, 2013  Bingo service project.  Elmwood Presbyterian is only able to accommodate up to 6 students at one time to assist with their Bingo activity.  Mrs. Ehrman will have the signup sheet and the permission releases.  Please complete the release and return to Mrs. Ehrman or Sara Huber 7B.   We are attempting to schedule 2 Bingo service projects each month at either Elmwood Presbyterian Lodge and St. Mary's Asbury to hopefully allow as many students to participate as we can.  We will also need a parent volunteer for the Bingo service project scheduled  at Elmwood Presbyterian on November 23, 2013, from 1:00-3:00.  If you are able to assist, please email Mary Huber at mhuber@eccaremgt.org or  klecks1@verizon.net.  You can also call Brenda Barto at 823-5670 or Mary Huber at 602-6152.
