OLVCS Updates
Summer Edition #1............................ July 23, 2019
Welcome to our new families! I hope all of you are enjoying the summer months, and that your days have been filled with some family fun.
The construction/renovation of the cafeteria and kitchen, the construction of the office and installation of the air-conditioning are all coming along. Each time I am able to take a look, significant progress has been made. It is an exciting time at the school. I will include photos in the next Update.
Below you will find information on the Summer Picnic, and Used Uniform Sale. I will send another Update with additional information about the start of school.
Make it a Great Summer!

Now Is A Great Time for Your Middle Schooler to Begin Working on the Summer Assignments
All students entering 6th, 7th, and 8th grade have been assigned a book to read over the summer. Students should also be keeping a log of books that they are reading over the summer. Other writing requirements have also been assigned. A link to these assignments can be found at www.olvcatholicschool.org.

Space is available at all grade levels for new students. Admission information can be found at www.olvcatholicschool.org/admissions or by calling the school office.
