Our Lady of Peace School is a member of the Minnesota Non-Public School Accrediting Association.  This next year, the school will be going through its accreditation process.  Part of this process is an online survey of current families. This survey will help measure our current performance and guide goal setting and planning for the future.  We greatly appreciate your time and effort in completing this surveyand aim for a 100% completion rate. The survey should take 10 minutes or less and is comprised of questions on all aspects of school and community life here at Our Lady of Peace.

Target Red Card

 

REGISTER YOUR TARGET RED CARD & RAISE MONEY FOR OLP!!

 

Did you know that OLP School recently received a check for $3,965.57 from Target's Take Charge of Education initiative?  That's close to $4,000 raised for our school with very little work on our part! What's even more impressive is that OLP has received over $30,000 in funds from this Target program since we've been enrolled.

 

If you have a Target Red Card (credit or debit), go to www.target.com/redcard/tcoe to designate your card for OLP.  It's that simple! There is also a link on our school home page, www.olpmn.org.

Whate'er I do, things great or small
Whate'er I do, things great or small
Whate'er I speak or frame.
Thy glory may I seek in all,
Do all in Jesus' name.

My Father, for His sake I pray.
Thy child accept and bless
And lead me by Thy grace to-day
In paths of righteousness. Amen.
