FALL ISSUE 2021
Welcome to the first issue of our brand new e-newsletter! We hope you enjoy this new way to keep you informed of the exciting news about our alumni, students, faculty & staff at Our Lady of Mercy School.

FALL GREETINGS
I am thrilled to welcome you to the fall 2021-2022 academic year at Our Lady or Mercy School.
While the year 2020 has been filled with challenges not seen before, the faculty and staff of OLM are committed to ensuring all the students that they continue to experience the highest standard of learning.
Congratulations to our Class of 2021 and welcome to the Alumni Community! As a graduate of OLM, you are now part of an elite group of graduates who have made an immense impact on our school and global communities. Our school is noted for its successful graduates who have gone on to become bishops, mayors, newscaster, doctors, technology experts, major league baseball umpire, teachers and successful professionals. We wish you the best and continued blessings on a bright future!
It is always very heartening to see the students who have passed through OLM grow up and have children of their own whom they enroll at OLM.
A special welcome is extended to these Kindergarten children of our alumni, who are our “Youngest Bulldogs.”
Thank you for keeping in touch and for all your support. Please continue to like our Facebook page and postings to see school and alumni updates. https://www.facebook.com/olmbulldogs/.

NANCY SOUZA ANDRE - Class of 1977
Mrs. Nancy Andre has been a most valuable member of our school community for almost 18 years. She left OLM after relocating to Cotati in the North Bay.
A graduate of Our Lady of Mercy School, she is an honest-to-goodness OLM Bulldog. She states, "I started First Grade in 1969 and have called OLM my home away from home ever since." We value her dedication and commitment to our school. In her years as a teacher, she worked closely with our families to ensure the success of every child in her classroom. She worked collaboratively with the faculty and staff in moving our school forward. These past years, she has been with the School Leadership Team, a responsibility she truly has taken to heart. She will certainly be missed.
Our utmost appreciation, prayers, and best wishes go with her as she begins the next chapter of her life.
MR. GREG ROUGLEY - Class of 1987
Mr. Greg Rougley, our alumnus, long-time Technology Director and Computer teacher, we wish him well as he takes on his position at St. Gabriel School. We thank him for the outstanding work he has done to keep the school's technology systems / program current and up-to-date. His kindness and readiness to help all of us especially this past year and a half, including taking on 7th grade Social Studies, as we were adjusting to our new normal will always be appreciated.
Greg Rougley, '87, graduated from St. Ignatius and College of San Mateo. He went on to UC Santa Cruz where he earned his bachelor's in psychology. Greg then went to USF where he earned his masters in education with an emphasis on computer technology.
By 2003, Greg was the school's Technology Coordinator, Computer Science Teacher, Athletic Director Consultant and Extended Care Assistant Director. He taught computer class from K-8th. Greg treated his students with respect and dignity, and he expected them to do the same.......

SISTER EILEEN PAZMINO
Sister Eileen retired in June of 2021. She has been a most valuable member of our school community for almost 25 years. Truly a pillar of our school, she has been such a great support to all of us, always there to help and assist us whenever needed. She is most knowledgeable about our school operations and has always been a dependable resource for all of us. We will surely miss her pleasant greetings in the morning, her smile that makes our day, her warm spirit that lifts us up. Her hard work, commitment, and dedication to our school will always be appreciated.
Our prayers and best wishes go with her as she enjoys her well-deserved retirement.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS GORMAN
On October 25, 2021, Ms. Gorman , along with some OLM friends, celebrated her birthday. It was wonderful to see familiar faces that we have not seen in a while.

CLASS OF 2017 REUNION
As the OLM tradition continues, the alumni of the past four years reunited with each other at their old stumping ground to catch up with each other before moving on to their respective journeys to college. This year, the Class of 2017 had their reunion in August instead of the traditional April event. Normally, the event is celebrated in the school office hallway so that the students can visit their old classrooms, but due to the pandemic, we made some adjustments. They had an outdoor celebration and the weather was perfect and so was the attendance! Parents brought an abundance of food and even had a raffle drawing to benefit the OLM Scholarship Fund. Great fun, great company! Go Bulldogs!
