WELCOME TO THE 2018-2019 SCHOOL YEAR!

Dear Parents,

I hope this finds you refreshed after a summer of enjoying your children.  We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Tuesday, August 7th.  This is always the best time of year, welcoming back our reinvigorated teachers and staff as all of us prepare for the students' first day.

We are especially excited to welcome two new teachers, Mr. William Alpers and Ms. Diana Payne. Mr. Alpers is the new 6B homeroom teacher and Ms. Payne is our new Spanish teacher. 
 
We said bittersweet goodbyes to Mrs. Greene, Mrs. Simon, Senor Carlos, and Mrs. Pivonka. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for their years of service to OLPH and we wish all of them the best of luck as their career paths expand beyond our community.  

I am most grateful to all of our parents. Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in your child's education.  As I begin my ninth year as principal and look back on all that has changed since I started at OLPH in August, 2000, I thank God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon our school.  Thank you to our teachers and staff members for their dedication to our students.  I look forward to a successful 2018-19 school year.

God Bless,
Donna Lauro
