• Three Things Thursday - As we count our many blessings this year, we would like to remember some of our own OLG families in a special way during this upcoming Christmas season with this month’s Three Things Thursday collection on Thursday, November 21st. This month's social justice outreach focus is providing for OLG School families who need financial assistance during the holidays and throughout the year. Most often the needs arise due to unforeseen circumstances such as fire, health concerns, holiday pressures, or similar situations. Students may come to school out of uniform this day (while adhering to the guidelines in the school handbook) in exchange for a monetary donation. Please contact Mr. Clady at kclady@ol-g.org if your family has needs or concerns for Christmas. One of the best gifts of Christmas is the gift of giving.

• Thank You - UPaint Pottery was a huge success! Our goal was to raise fun, and we did just that very thing! Thank you to all the families who came out and enjoyed the evening! We'll let you know when your finished pottery arrives!

• NO 6th grade study group next Tuesday due to the start of Thanksgiving Break

• Thanksgiving Break begins with 3:00 dismissal on Tuesday, November 26th. Extended Care will be available until 6:00pm. School is closed Wednesday, November 27th through Friday, November 29th. Classes resume on Monday, December 2nd.

• Advent Wreath Calendar - Arriving home on Monday, 11/25 with the youngest child in each family, you will receive a family Advent Wreath Calendar to help us all keep focus on the Season of Advent. On the wreath you will find a small door to open for each day in December. We encourage all OLG School families to use the wreath as a way to pray and reflect on the ways Jesus comes to us in the present, how he came to us in the past, and how he will come to us again in the future.

• Accreditation Process - The Second Survey - It's not too late to take part in the final survey in our accreditation process. Defining Characteristics of Catholic Schools Parents/Community is your link to the survey. The deadline is Wednesday, 11/20 at 11:59 pm. Thank you for your feedback.

• School Office Christmas Tree - Help us adorn the School Office's Christmas tree with an ornament from your family! Throughout the week of December 2nd through 6th, you can send an ornament to the office for display on the tree. The OLG School Family theme is now in its third year, and we would love to see more ornaments displayed than ever before! Please make sure to write your name on the ornament in order to get it back once the season is over. Questions? Email office@ol-g.org.

• Come and Join Us for Holiday Family Fun!

Dec 14th at 6pm in the OLG Gym! There will be activities, a photo booth, and a movie! We can't forget about concessions: pizza and hotdogs, chips, popcorn, candy, gatorade, hot chocolate and water! (while supplies last and please no outside food or drinks)

The movie is free but please bring cash for concessions and activities which will all go towards the 2026 DC Trip.

We hope to see everyone there. The movie will be family friendly (parents need to stay with their children) and blankets and chairs are recommended. It may even be a perfect time to wear Christmas pj's and have a family picture taken!

Please send dctrip@ol-g.org any questions.

Good Morning!

This week's Eagle Flyer is short but still good!

1. Thursday, August 29th is our first Three Things Thursday event. We are collecting new school supplies or cash donations for the Holy Family Shelter. In turn, students who bring in a donation or school supplies may come out of uniform.

2. What does "Out of Uniform" Mean?

From our handbook:

OUT OF UNIFORM DAYS

When the Principal has determined an out-of-uniform day, the students are asked to follow these basic guidelines: Shorts, Capri pants, etc. may be worn only when the warm weather policy is in effect. Dresses, skirts and shorts worn during this time are expected to be no higher than 3” above the knee. Students are asked not to wear attire that promotes drugs, alcohol or tobacco products or that has information the staff deems inappropriate in an educational environment. Spaghetti straps and sleeveless shirts or dresses and yoga pants are not to be worn. Exposed belly buttons, undergarments, cleavage, or bare underarms are inappropriate for school. If tight fitting pants/skinny jeans are worn, a longer shirt/top/tunic must be worn over the top of the pants to cover.

3. No School on Friday, 8/30 and Monday, 9/2.

Friday, August 30th is an in-service day for the staff. Monday, September 2nd is Labor Day. Enjoy your four day weekend!

• All library books are due back to the library by Friday, May 17th.

• May 17, 2024 is our annual Field and Hot Dog Day!

1.) Due to an iffy weather forecast and current mud, we will bring the games indoors during the morning. Then kids will enjoy movies in the afternoon.

2.) Wondering how to dress your kid/kids? has each child's group and shirt color. Please check it out! In addition, typical sneakers/gym shoes, socks, and shorts are perfect for the day.

3.) What else do the kids need? A water bottle labeled with your child's name in a drawstring bag or backpack is fine.

4.) What about lunch? Our Hearts for Haiti ministry will grill fresh hot dogs for everyone. The cafeteria will serve carrots, chips, cookie, and a small water. Needler's Market provides an abundance of fresh fruit!

Finally, dismissal happens a little differently on May 17th. Cars will stage in the north church parking lot, then at 2:45 pm the traffic enters the south lot. We will dismiss either from the hillside or the gym, depending on the weather.

Lots of details but loads of fun!

Questions? Just ask!

• Special Dress Next Week - As our 8th graders begin their final countdown, they have planned three special days next week for all their friends in their school families. While this is not a requirement, the 8th graders hope that everyone will join in the fun!

Monday: Wear pajamas or wear something wacky

Tuesday: Dress for the beach or wear your favorite country wear

Wednesday: Dress from the past or dress into the future

We will try to keep track each day as to which outfit was the most popular. The 8th graders want everyone to have fun but they remind us to follow school rules when making choices about what to wear each day!

• Lost and Found - Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the school year.

• Final Lunch and Child Care Balances – Outstanding end of year lunch and child care balances will be taken or billed in June for the 2023-2024 school year.
