Dear Parents and Caregivers,

It seem like it was only yesterday we were celebrating the start of a new school year, and here we are at the end of the first academic quarter already.

Parent involvement in our school has given us much to be thankful for at OLP. The Athletic Association, School Advisory Council and the Family and School Association provide support for our school community and its programs for students in countless ways. Volunteers in many facets of the school life help us maintain a safe and caring environment. Whether it be organizing a Grandparents Day, an athletic event or lending a hand in the cafeteria, it makes our partnership with you stronger.

As you know, we will have our Parent -Teacher Conference days on November 24^th and 25^th. We regard this conference as a most valuable event in your child's educational program. This occasion provides an important opportunity to affirm the good work and set goals for growth academically and personally. The students in grades five through eight will attend the conference. This approach gives ownership to the student as to what they need to do to be a successful student. While you visit, make sure to visit the book fair and stop in the computer lab to see our iPad cart.

The holiday season is approaching quickly. The different grades are discussing and planning for their annual Advent Project to reach out to organizations in the area. FSA is promoting "The Caring Tree" to aid people in the school community during the holiday season. Many charities have benefited from the generosity of our school. Teachers and parents working together to teach children at a young age about stewardship is evident at OLP.

On behalf of Father Glenn, the faculty, staff and students I wish you a happy Thanksgiving.

Blessings,

Miss Mary Beth Ek
