VERY EXCITING NEWS!
Dear Parents,
Last summer, Mrs. Montes and I worked together on a proposal for a grant from Shea Homes. I am happy to
share that we received notification today that we have been awarded the grant!
The overall campus renovations, including a Preschool, are projected to be $2,812,500, of which
Shea Homes has granted us $2,250,000.
Our fundraising efforts will focus on the remaining $562,500. This is an incredible gift to receive these campus improvements at only a 20% cost to us.
With a very grateful heart to Shea Homes, on behalf of our students, faculty, and staff, we give thanks to God for this wonderful blessing.

WHAT IS A REGAL CELTIC?
We would like to recognize our students who are growing as REGAL Celtics. So, we will be focusing on one Schoolwide Learning Expectation (SLE) each month.
Our SLEs describe what every OLPH student should know, understand, value, and be able to do by their 8th grade graduation. All students are developing into REGAL Celtics.
This month we begin with
Responsible Citizen
. We are asking students to demonstrate how to be Responsible Citizens. Responsible Citizens make good choices, think before they act, show kindness, empathy, and compassion when helping care for others, accept accountability for their actions, and recognize, appreciate, and use their God-given talents. Teachers will submit student names for recognition who have exhibited qualities of Responsible Citizenship. Students who demonstrate these characteristics will receive recognition. We are very proud of our REGAL Celtics.
Monthly Focus
January: Responsible Citizen
February
: Effective Communicator
March
: Global Ambassador
April
: Active Faith-Filled Catholic
May
: Lifelong Learner

"I like this school for many reasons but the main reason is that everyone really grows in their faith and closer to God. I hope to keep learning more about my faith. And teaching others about God."
