For Heaven's Sake
Our Lady Queen of Heaven School - April 2018
From the Principal's Desk...
This is my last letter to all the members of the OLQHS family. I have come to love this community and I am blessed to have been part of it for the last nine years. We have shared many moments of joy, but also challenges that have tested our strengths and convictions. The Lord has always been there to guide us and to give us the grace to work through the times of challenge. If we focus on what is best for the children of OLQHS, we always find the right direction.
I am entering a new season in my life. I am entering this new phase with anticipation and trepidation because I have always put other things first, now it is time for me. “For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11). Please pray for me that I will continue to serve the Lord and find peace in my faith in the Lord. May the grace of the Lord always be with you and the OLQHS Community.
May we always share the joy in Christ.
- JoAnn

Jump Rope for Heart!
This March, Our Lady Queen of Heaven School, Physical Education classes participated in the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for Heart. Students in grade first through sixth participated in the event. While, improving their jump rope skills daily in physical education class, the students learned about helping others through exercise, eating healthy foods, and staying active to maintain a healthy heart. The students made food pyramids and food plates that showed the 5 basic food groups. Also, they made posters of fun activities and exercises that keeps the heart happy and healthy. For donations to the American Heart Association, each student promised to jump rope daily.
For the big “Jump Rope for Heart” event, over 350 students gathered to jump rope in the school’s gym for an hour and 30 minutes.
