OLVCS Updates
Led By the Spirit..........................November 14 ,2019
Good evening,
Two weeks from today is Thanksgiving! It is hard to believe how fast the year is going. In the office, as you may know, we have already working on enrollment for new families for the 2020-2021 school year. Please spread the word about OLV and invite friends to check out the school. They can email me for a tour or just to gather information.
On Monday we have our 2nd PTG meeting starting at 6:30. Ruth Williamson from Centre Safe will discuss the PSATA. (Penn State Athletes Take Action) Our 6th grade participates in this anti-bullying program. The message is good for all to hear. Pictured to the right is the Nittany Lion at the kick off assembly.
Make it a Great Evening!
~ Mrs. Weakland
Next Week: B, C, M, D, A
