Back Parking Lot Update
The pot holes in the back lot will be repaired over Spring Break - thank you to Western Asphalt for their generosity in making the repairs.
We recognize that our back parking lot is less than ideal, and it is part of our future plans for the area to be paved. However, as with any non-profit, our resources are finite, and using resources on our parking lot means less resources for other areas, such as curriculum, technology, teacher professional development and more urgent facilities projects. Thank you for tolerating a few 'bumps in the road' and for being so patient with us!

Lent 2017: Resources + Information

Project Starfish!
Project Starfish is the brainchild of former Springfield Mayor and State Senator Bill Morrisette. The project's goal is to break the cycle of homelessness one family at a time. Each year the O'Hara community joins together by participating in a variety of fundraising projects during the season of Lent in an effort to raise funds to help homeless families through a partnership with Catholic Community Services.
Click
HERE to read a schedule of events and activities that will be happening at O'Hara during Lent. The project will conclude with an assembly when the funds from our efforts will be presented to a representative of Catholic Community Services.
Learn more about the G Street Oasis, beneficiary of Project Starfish 2017.
