100 days of school!
| |
Dear Parents and OLF Families,
This week we celebrated 100 days of school! Our MAP students were having fun with various activities involving the number 100. Clapping, chanting, jumping and much more! What fun it was to learn and play!
For our MAP parents this was also a reminder that our children are growing, growing, growing up so fast! As parents, we sometimes wish that we could stop time, particularly when there are these special moments in our children's lives!
Not only our MAP parents feel this way today, but also the parents of the graduating Class of 2013. When we took the graduation pictures for the yearbook, the caps and gowns were a stark reminder that for our 8th Graders we are inching closer and closer to graduation each day!
It is much fun to learn and grow in our wonderful school!
Blessings,
Beate Nguyen, M.A. Ed
Principal

FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS!
|
Parents, please be sure to have your scholarship application in to F.A.S.T. if you are needing to request tuition assistance. Each family must apply each year that they are needing scholarship. The budgeting process has begun and knowing the amount of scholarship needed will help in determining what the school can afford for that purpose. F.A.S.T can be reached through our website. Go to the admissions tab and drop down to "scholarships". There is a link there to F.A.S.T. Follow the directions. Please DON'T WAIT to get this done. Mrs. Nguyen and our Scholarship Committee will be evaluating completed applications by the end of March. A completed application includes all supporting documents. If you have any questions that can't be answered by the F.A.S.T. parent hotline at 877-326-3278, contact Mrs. Clark in the school office.
