The OLMA Overview -- May 19, 2016
|
|
Senior exams are underway and it's 12 days and counting to Graduation Day! Saturday is OLMA Pride Day. While Mother Nature may put a dent in our plans for games and clinics, the Chicken BBQ (12-4 PM), Bake Sale (12-4 PM) and Lacrosse Banner Ceremony (2:45 PM) will proceed RAIN or SHINE. Everything will be held in the gym. While you can purchase BBQs at the door, they are going fast, so you might want to pre-purchase yours online here. Next week features Mary Day on Wednesday. It begins with a prayer service and then moves to the gym for Senior awards, Senior luncheon, and skits! Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts and see you on Saturday!

Meet Danielle Sergi, Class of 2016
|
|
OLMA Senior, Danielle Sergi, is one small-town girl who has achieved big-time success. Danielle grew up in Port Republic, NJ, nearly an hour's ride from OLMA where she has spent the last four years. "It's a long ride and I didn't know anyone when I first came here," she said. "I was so nervous, but ending up making friends on my very first day Freshman year." The strong friendships she has made are what Danielle treasures and will miss the most. "We're all going in different directions," she said. "We'll miss being together every day, but we will stay in touch and meet new friends along the way."
Danielle will be heading to Rowan University this fall on a full scholarship. "I couldn't believe it when the letter came in the mail," said Danielle. "I also got first dibs on dorms, the best meal plan and a few other extras, so I am incredibly excited and anxious to set out on my own." Danielle plans to major in Biology and take the Pre-Med track which she hopes will lead her to a career in dentistry. Danielle is grateful for the support system she has enjoyed at OLMA. "My friends and teachers, especially Mrs. C, have always been there for me." Just remember, Danielle, that we're only a phone call away. Congratulations!
