Dear Families and Friends of OLQP:
I once heard a parent of several OLQP graduates remark that the OLQP experience is part of a "whole package." When students attend Pre-K through 5
th grade, they are receiving a strong foundation, both academically and morally, that prepares them to be successful in middle school.
In middle school, the OLQP team is uniquely qualified. Three of our four core content teachers have taught high school. One of the four has a PhD in chemistry. They have all had either Pre-AP or AP training. These teachers know what students need to be successful in their high school AP courses and provide instruction accordingly. In addition, Students in middle school take robotics in addition to STREAM classes. They also have the opportunity to leave OLQP with high school credits in both Algebra I and Geometry.
As we continue efforts to strengthen vertical alignment, opportunities for leveled math and robotics are being incorporated at the fourth and fifth grade levels next year. These additions will enhance the STREAM focus.
The "whole package" includes PSIA, field trips, faith formation, service projects, leadership formation, athletics, partnership with parents, and friendships based on common values to see your children through high school and beyond.
Thank you for being part of the mission and ministry of Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic School.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam,
Mrs. Marianne Mechura, M.Ed.

| Did You Know?
What would you do with a Styrofoam cup, cotton balls, toothpicks, 2 pieces of paper, masking tape, rubber bands, and a plastic bag? Dr. Jonathan Mendenhall, representative from the Texas Gulf Coast Section of American Institute of Chemical Engineers, came to OLQP. He presented the "Egg Drop Challenge" to the 8
th
grade students. Students formed teams in order to engineer a container that could protect an egg when dropped from various heights. The containers were dropped first at 3 feet and then from incrementally greater heights. The winning team's egg survived the 24-foot drop! Congratulations to Kyana Fernandez, Liliana Jackson, and Olivia Mulholland.
