• Bon voyage! Please wish our 7th and 8th graders well who will be going to Washington, D.C. this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
• Three Things Thursday is Thursday, October 24th - The focus is on the Corporal Works of Mercy: "Give food to the hungry" and "Give drink to the thirsty.” We are assisting our OLG food pantry. On Thursday, October 24th, students may come to school out of uniform (while adhering to the handbook guidelines) in exchange for a donation to the OLG Food Pantry. Toiletries such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, and toilet paper are necessary items that food stamps do not cover. Canned items such as soup, vegetables, meats, and fish are needed also. And finally, any monetary contributions are always welcome.
• Spooky Bake Sale - It's time for the OLG Washington DC Spooky Bake Sale! Come support our OLG Middle School Washington DC Trip by purchasing some of our delicious homemade baked ghoulies - I mean goodies! We will have a variety of treats, including gluten-free and dairy-free.
Middle Schoolers will be selling baked goods in the church narthax after masses on Saturday and Sunday, October 26 and 27; and after school (3 to 5 PM) in ULMH on Monday and Tuesday, October 28 and 29.
You can help us run the bake sale, too! We always appreciate donations of 2 to 3 dozen of your favorite home-baked goods and/or you can volunteer your time. Priority is given to middle students and families fundraising for the current Washington DC Trip.
