The teachers, staff and Administration are beyond grateful for all the generosity of the OLG School families. We are extremely thankful for the Christmas gifts, cards and treats. As we look back on the first half of the year, we realize how blessed and fortunate we are to have such wonderful families at OLG. We look forward to 2023 and the many blessings it brings.

2023-2024 Re-Enrollment

If you are moving or you know that your child will not be returning to OLG in the fall, please send an email to Amy Selby before February 1, 2023.
