Letter from Principal Young

Dear OLOL Families,

I hope that all of you had an enjoyable Christmas and Christmas break. It is great to see all of the students back this week.

January is a pretty special month here at OLOL. One of the main reasons for that is that we celebrate Catholic Schools Week. Catholic Schools Week runs from Sunday, January 30th - Saturday, February 5th. There are many groups and individuals working on making it a great experience for the staff and students of OLOL.

I have one big request for all OLOL families, staff, and students. Please plan on attending the 10:15 Mass on Sunday, January 30th and having your children wear their OLOL Lourdes Way t-shirt. The OLOL Parish is the number one financial supporter of our school. This is a small but important way to say thank you.

Catholic Schools Week traditionally ends with the OLOL Family Dance the Friday of CSW at the Green Bay Distillery.. I am looking for a parent who would chair this event. Most of the work is done and it isn’t a huge time commitment. If you are interested, please let me know this week.

I put out small changes to our COVID Site plan the week before we left for vacation. As some of you may have seen, the CDC changed some quarantining guidelines the week we were on Christmas break. I put those changes into the COVID Site plan. The change here is that quarantine time is changed to 5 days if a student is COVID positive. If a student was in contact with a positive case, a student doesn’t have to quarantine if they have completed their vaccination series. If unvaccinated or the series has not been completed then quarantine time is 5 days. The new updated COVID Site Plan - Jan 2022 (revised).

Please continue to pray for the OLOL staff and students for an exciting year of learning and growing in faith in 2022. OLOL is a special community of exceptional learning and commitment of staff, parents, and students. I’m very excited about the second half of the school year.

“The only way to get rid of your past is to make a future out of it. God will waste nothing” - Phillip Brooks

Cavalier Card Winners

Each week our K-4 students earn "Cavalier cards" when they display one of 15 self-disciplined skills that we are learning throughout the school year. Each week all of the cards are entered in a drawing where students can earn various prizes.

Check back next week

We hope you enjoyed your Christmas break.

ADVENT THANK YOU

The Advent Committee would like to extend a gracious thank you to families that helped us support SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE as part of our Advent celebration. We hope that you saw the Facebook post that featured the LLOONNGG line of donations being loaded into the trailer on December 22. Thank you for supporting this new effort in our area so that no child goes without a bed. For continued support or interest in Sleep In Heavenly Peace:

News from the Classroom

Christmas

The Epiphany of the Lord

(During January 2 - 8:15AM Mass)

"They were overjoyed at seeing the star,

and on entering the house

they saw the child with Mary his mother.

They prostrated themselves and did him homage.

Then they opened their treasures

and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod,

they departed for their country by another way".

At the end of mass, chalk was blessed for use of the Epiphany House Blessing of your home. 20 + C + M + B + 22

+The first number “20″ is for the first 2 numbers of the year, and the last number “22” is for the last 2 numbers of the year.

+ The 3 letters are the first Initial of each of the kings (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar).

+ The “C, M, B also stands for the Latin blessing Christius Mansionem Benedicat which means “May Christ Bless this House”.

Little Bits

Students, what did you learn during the Little Bits unit?

"I learned that it is more then putting pieces together and expect something to happen."

" I learned that you need to make sure you do it properly and carefully".

"I learned that there were different parts like an input and an output".

"I learned that technology has many more uses than I thought".

"Team work"

"Sometimes things don't work out the way you want them to".

An Important Skill - Keyboarding

The use of technology is a component of education for all ages.

At the young age of kindergarten and first grade, we introduce the basics. Their hands are small, but we begin with the use of the mouse, enter key, space bar, recognizing letters and the shift key.

When students are in the third grade, we introduce keyboarding lessons. The focus is on proper technique, home row, touch typing and accuracy.
