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.

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!
