Let's welcome in November!  A month filled with gratitude!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your generous support of our fundraising efforts. With your support, these efforts have been a tremendous success!  Every little bit makes a difference and it is truly appreciated.
 
We said hello to November with our students sharing the Eucharist with the OLP Parish at the 9:00 am "All Saints Day”  Mass on Friday. It was a beautiful Mass to celebrate and honor all of the saints known and unknown. Throughout the day, our students participated in “All Saints Day” activities.  Our Pre-K honored the saints by visiting the statues in the back of our church and said special prayers to them. While our other classes created special "Saint Books," "Saint Reports," hosted "Saintly Dinner Parties,"  and created saint social media pages, also known as "Saintstagram." 
 

This month, in recognition of Veteran's Day, our Middle School students will be collecting  "Socks for Soldiers" through November 7th. This Middle School “Service Project” is in conjunction with St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School's "Pack Out for the Troops." Please help support this worthy cause.

World Kindness Day is on Wednesday, November 13th. The teachers are hard at work, creating unique "Kindness Activities" to recognize this VERY IMPORTANT DAY.

"If you have the chance to make people happy,
just do it.  Sometimes people are struggling
silently. Maybe, your act of kindness can make
their day!" -unknown

World Diabetes Day is on Thursday, November 14th.  It is a global occasion in which people with diabetes, health professionals, diabetes advocates, media, the general public, and government organizations unite in the fight against diabetes.  The OLP family is going to join in this fight! For $2.00 each, our students will have an "out of uniform day," on November 14th. Please wear blue, which is the color to recognize diabetes awareness.  It is a great day to wear your blue "OLP Strong" shirts! We still have some available to purchase.

Please join us at our second OLP School Family Mass on Sunday, November 17, 2019, at 9:30 am with hospitality to follow immediately.  We had an incredible turnout in October. Let's continue with this new tradition!  I would like to wish you and your families a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving.
