OLVCS Updates
May 28, 2021
Dear Parents,
The weather was perfect last night for our end of the year band concert. Thank you to Mrs. Muller and all of the behind the scenes help who made this such a great success.
Below you will find the link to the survey being done by Meitler Team for the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown. The survey ask you to share your perspectives on the strengths and challenges of our school. I'm hoping that at least one parent of all our school families (over 150!) will take the time to complete this important survey.
Do you Facebook? Today's our first Facebook Friday! Check out our Facebook page, managed by Mrs. Kolarik, and share a few posts with your friends. We hope to use the power of social media to share more about our school with our community.
Finally, don't forget: No school on Monday! Remember to take a moment to say a prayer for all those who have lost their lives in service to our country.
Taking on the heart of Jesus,
Chad Packer, MEd
Principal, OLVCS
Your Opinion Is Important
Do You Facebook? Then join us today for Facebook Friday!
It's easy! Check out the great posts about our school on the OLVCS Facebook page and share or like at least one, so that your friends can see how great our school is. We hope that this simple social media campaign can help spread the word about our school and nudge a few new families to check us out.
OLVCS Yard Signs of State College
You may be familiar with similar famous posters... Doors of London, Doors of New York, or even Doors of State College. But, how about this: “OLVCS Yard Signs of State College” No, this is not for sale, but just our way of saying THANK YOU to all the families that proudly displayed their yard sign! Your support is incredible. Check out this new wall art addition the next time you are at school.
Show Your OLVCS Pride At Every Stoplight
Be on the lookout for a special gift coming home. Thanks to the generous donation of one of our parents, each family will receive a OLVCS car magnet. We are so proud of our faculty, staff, families and students for all your support this school year. As the school year ends, drive off into summer showing your OLVCS pride!
