Principal's Message
January 18, 2019
Dear Families and Friends of OLQP:
          Catholic Schools Week begins on Sunday, January 27, 2019. The activities planned during the week celebrate our faith, our community, and the academic rigor at OLQP. Catholic Schools Week is an opportunity to get the "good news" out about the amazing things that happen every day at OLQP. Parents are the school's best advocates. Decisions made about school choice are most often based on parent-to-parent sharing. Please consider sharing what you like most about OLQP with your friends and colleagues.
 
          The Pre-K 3&4/Kindergarten Round-Up is on Tuesday, January 29. Click here for a flyer to share. Interested families are welcome to schedule a tour by contacting Kimberley Dail-Wilson at [email protected].
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam,
Mrs. Marianne Mechura, M.Ed.
Counting Our Blessings   
  Thank you to the Traynor family for planting and maintaining the flowers around The Blessed Mother Statue and the planters at the front doors of the school.

Did You Know?
The Best Investment You Will Ever Make!
                We hear from our graduates the great things that they are doing. Many of them recognize the foundation and friendships formed at OLQP are determining factors in their success. The time to register for the 2019-2020 school year is now. Please find the necessary documents here.
                This year, you are invited to Bridge the Gap. The difference between what is charged in tuition and the true cost of educating a child at OLQP is about $1500. Your tax deductible donation will assist the school in funding tuition assistance, staff discounts, and program enhancements. Thank you for your commitment to OLQP!
