St. Vincent de Paul’s Lunch: 

OLM school provides a sack lunch for the poor every Friday. Each grade level is assigned a Friday during the month to help feed the poor. For many people this is the only meal they will have that day.

It is our turn to provide a sack lunch this Friday.  We will send home a decorated lunch bag for you to place a lunch in (one that doesn’t need to be refrigerated).  Ideas for a lunch would be a sandwich, crackers, fruit, a cookie, and water or a juice box.  I encourage you to have your child fill the lunch bag and talk about feeding the poor.

Feast of St. Francis:

 There will be Mass on Friday October 3rd at 11:00. Mass will take place on the front lawn of the school. Animals may be brought at this time to be blessed. Students will sit with their class while those parents with animals will be in a special section. After Mass students may go to their parent and walk their pet up to be blessed.

Box Tops/Labels for Education/ Ink Cartridges:

 Please clip the labels and bring box tops in to class.  We also collect empty ink cartridges.  The winning class gets a reward!
