• Thank you for your donations on our last Three Things Thursday and your support of one another! Your generosity is truly appreciated. We are Christ’s hands for each other. Please contact Mr. Clady at kclady@ol-g.org if your family has needs or concerns for Christmas.
• School Office Christmas Tree - Help us adorn the School Office's Christmas tree with an ornament from your family! Throughout this week, 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.
