Dear OLG Community,

As we near the end of the school year, I would like to recognize the many families who have come to OLG to support our lively campus lately. From the Preschool Parent Picnic on the lawn to the 8th grade play in the new activity center, we are indeed blessed.

This strong energetic support really epitomizes this year's school theme, Together Are We, OLG! Our students are getting a strong foundation for life—thanks to the strong community behind them.

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend Memorial Day.
