OLG’s annual Thanksgiving Can Goods and Turkey Gift Card Drive is in full swing and continues through Friday, November 22. Each family is asked to donate Thanksgiving food items or grocery store gift cards to the drive. These food donations are optional, and we are grateful for any and all participation. Food drive collection boxes will be placed outside classroom doors. Your food donations will be given to the St. Vincent de Paul ministry at the parish who will assemble lovely gift baskets for less fortunate families to enjoy at Thanksgiving. The list includes all canned and boxed foods that are appropriate for Thanksgiving, including green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, gravy, boxed mashed potatoes, and boxed stuffing mix. We are also asking for gift cards to purchase fresh turkeys for these needy families. Thank you for your generosity!

Our OLG school community will be celebrating a special blessing of animals on the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi on Friday, October 4. The blessing will be held at the start of the school day at 7:50am in the courtyard. Small caged animals (hamsters, birds, etc.) are okay to stay at school for the day. Any cats and dogs should only be brought for the blessing at the start of the morning. Pictures of animals and stuffed animals are okay too.

This wonderful event is hosted by the Development Office. Purchase tickets in the school office or at the front door for the bargain price of $25/person.
