Weekly UpdateWeek of October 18, 2021
Happy Monday, families!
This Monday marks the feast of one of the four evangelists: Luke. While the four Gospels all deal with the life of Christ, they each have their own particular lense. St. Luke was a gentile, and he had no real reason to stress, for example, how Chris fulfilled the Old Testament. As a physician himself, Luke's Gospel radiantly expresses the divine mercy of Christ the Physician. When we read Luke's Gospel, let's remind ourselves of the merciful and compassionate love in Christ's life and death. May we encounter that love and compassion in our own lives!
St. Luke the Evangelist, pray for us!
As a reminder, we ask that parents withhold students from school who are showing any symptoms of COVID-19 and are symptom free for 24 hours. If a positive test result is received, kindly report that to the office. Our primary goal is to keep students safe and to ensure in-person learning.
If a student is absent for any reason, a parent must report that absence to the office line or to attendance@olg1.org.
And now for some housekeeping items:- We've had a large number of orders placed for Yay Lunch! One reminder, if your child is absent and a lunch was ordered, you may email info@yaylunch.com and cancel by 9:00 am for a full refund
