Mrs. Lexi Kutch- welcome to Mrs. Kutch as our new STEM teacher for grades 6-8!
My name is Lexi Kutch. I am an OLMC parent to a current 1st grader and 2 future Raiders. I previously taught high school Algebra 1, Geometry and AP Calculus AB. I also spent a summer at the University of Notre Dame as part of the Research Experience for Teachers program, where I built and calibrated a 3D printer, as well as worked on curriculum to use the 3D printer in the classroom. This past year I helped organize the 1st-4th grade robotics team at OLMC. I am excited to bring my experience and love of math and science to the STEM classroom and am thankful for the opportunity to teach in our Christ-centered school! Have a great rest of the year, and I look forward to working with your children this fall!

End of Year Teacher Gifts
Due May 18
Dear All OLMC School Families,
The school year is coming to a close in a few short weeks! Our teachers and school staff have worked hard this year.
The PTO is collecting gift money for teachers and staff as a small token of our gratitude for all they have done. The gifts will be pooled together and each teacher and staff member will get their individual gift in SCRIP cards.
This year, you can donate in one of two ways:
For ease in ordering with SCRIP, we are kindly asking that you give your donation in $5 increments (Ex. $5, $10, $20, etc). We are also asking that you make your online or check donations by Wednesday May 18. Your room parents will work with the PTO to make sure the teachers and staff receive the SCRIP cards they desire.
Your year-end shopping is done super simple. Thank you for your generous contribution!
Sincerely,
OLMC PTO Board

CYO Camp Counselors Needed:
CYO Camp Rancho Framas is very much struggling with finding enough counselors for CYO Camp this summer… especially with male counselors!! At this time we have a list of almost 200 young campers who are now on a waiting list because we do not have enough counselors to accommodate them… and the majority of these are boys because of our male counselor shortage!!
If you know of someone (male or female) who is a recent high school graduate, or is in the 18 - 24 age range who enjoys working with kids, please share this message with them. This is a paid position, offering up to 9 weeks of paid employment this summer!! College students who are pursuing a degree in Education typically are a logical fit, as are anyone who has worked with children in the past. However, if you know someone who is looking for a summer job that is fun, exciting, rewarding and has the added bonus of working with kids in a fun environment, this could be that perfect opportunity to be a part of an amazing summer experience!
If interested, go to the CYO Camp website at campranchoframasa.org and click on the “Employment” link for more information. If they have questions, they can contact Camp Co-director Angi Sullivan at angi@campranchoframasa.org
