Get to know the OLG Nurses

Claire and Natalie, your friendly school nurses, both come with unique backgrounds that make them the dynamite duo to support your children while they are here at school!

Claire graduated with her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from St. Mary’s College of Notre Dame. She went on to work as a nurse in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago where she worked for the last 10 years. She grew up here in Edina and graduated OLG in 2004. She recently moved back to Minnesota and started working at OLG in the fall of 2022 as the School Nurse. She is excited to bring her clinical experience into the school setting and learn and grow in the school nurse role. Claire works Monday-Friday from 8:00-4:00pm and her direct email is clairequigley@olgschool.net 

Natalie graduated with her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from the University of Wisconsin- Madison. She’s spent the majority of her 14 year nursing career working at Masonic Children’s Hospital through various roles. She obtained her school nurse licensure in 2017 and has really enjoyed utilizing her clinical skills in the community setting. Natalie has a kindergartener at OLG and a future preschooler and has been so impressed with the sense of community and camaraderie OLG embodies. Natalie works part time on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8:00-4:00pm and her direct email is nataliesnyder@olgschool.net. 

Their goal for the OLG community is to provide safe, compassionate care for our students, faculty and staff. They hope to educate our students and staff about general health and wellness, prepare staff for illness related emergencies, and promote a healthy environment physically and mentally for our community. They will collaborate closely with our teachers and faculty to ensure we do our best to keep our students in school, while giving them the care they need when an illness or injury may occur. 

For any questions, concerns or feedback you can reach the dynamic duo at schoolnurse@olgschool.net or at 952-929-5463 ext. 9073.

Coin Collection for Ghana

Years ago, St. John Paul II School in Minneapolis started an annual campaign to collect coins to help purchase copybooks (notebooks) and basic necessities for our friends at OLG Senior High School in Ghana.

We invite you to join JPII in this Lenten almsgiving by bringing in coins this month! Make a card to send over with your coins, too! Click here for complete details. Questions? Contact Alison James.
