OLP WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 

OLP was fortunate to take 16 projects to the Greater Kansas City Science Fair this past weekend and of those projects all received Gold! In addition, there were 11 division winners and 6 special awards received. The OLP community is so proud of these participating 5th graders! Congrats on a job well done!

In addition to the students’ accolades, we are also thrilled to share that 5th grade science teacher, Kate Faris, was also awarded the Marie Miller Educator Award for her dedication to teaching science while inspiring creative and critical thinking in students. Congrats to Mrs. Faris!

Did you purchase an auction table? Please make sure event organizers have the names of your guests. Email auction@olplsschool.org and provide the table purchaser’s name and the guests’ names. It will make the evening of the event easier for everyone. Thank you!
