May Calendar
Please be aware that the MAY 2014 page of the OLP ALL SCHOOL CALENDAR that went out at PIE night is incorrect.  There was a miscommunication between OLP and the printer.

The link below is the CORRECT dates for MAY 2014.  Please print it out and attach it to you calendar.

Thank you and sorry for any confusion this may cause.

 
Attention 8th Grade Parents
Bishop Persico mandates that students must attend a Catholic High School or Religious Education classes for both 9th and 10th grade in order to be part of the Confirmation Formation classes in 11th grade.  Registration forms will be sent home with those students not attending a Catholic High School next year.  Forms also can be found at olp.org under the Faith Formation tab.  If you have any questions please contact Tammie Mang at 838-9983 or tammie.mang@olp.org.

Summer Opportunities
Villa Maria Academy Soccer Camp
For boys and girls in grades 4 thru 8.

i9 Sports Summer Program 


Penn State Behrend Girl's Basketball Camps

IU5 Camps

The IU is offering two student summer camps this year!

 

Returning for an encore performance, and at a high demand, is ProBots Apprentices.  This program will introduce your students (ages 10 - 15) to the basics of programming and robotics utilizing the Scratch and SNAP programming languages and the BirdBrain Technologies of the Finch and Hummingbird.

 

New this year and highly requested by last year's ProBots alumni is a second level to ProBots titled ProBots Explorers.  Students (ages 10 - 15) will develop an understanding of intermediate and advanced programming concepts utilizing a micro-controller board and the Arduino programming language to build an interactive object that involves switches, sensors, lights, motors, and servos.

 

The remaining student summer program is ConstrX.  There are two age bands for this student program, 8 to 11 and 12 to 15 years of age.  Combining arts and technology, these students will apply their creativity to solve wacky and exciting challenges.  A potpourri of scavenged and recycled materials will be supplied.  Through tinkering, your students will engineer and fabricate an end product of their own creation.

 

The application and Student Summer Camp Flyer is in the link above. Students may register for both ProBots and ConstrX on the same application.

 

Gluten Free Graduation Cakes
  My name is Shelley Pawlowski and I have celiac disease.  I know how hard it is for those who are trying to eat gluten free. Not many bakeries offer gluten free products.  If they do one can never be too sure if there is cross contamination.  I bake and decorate gluten free cakes.  I do not use ANY glutenous flours in my kitchen.  If anyone is interested in ordering a Gluten Free graduation cake they can contact me at violaplayinghobbit@yahoo.com  or by telephone 814-455-5629.
