Each student brings in a non-perishable item from their class’s list between November 13 - 16. Baskets will be delivered to the Basilica by the OLG Student Council on November 17. This service project supports the Employment Ministry at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

News from the Nurses

It is important to keep students' vaccination and immunizations up to date. Over the last few years, many kids have fallen behind but know that it is never too late to get caught up to stay heathy. The OLG Nurses have created this document with the immunization schedule, vaccine information, and other helpful information about shots.

The Holidays at OLG

As we head into the 75th holiday season as a Catholic School community, it is a very important time of reflection, giving thanks, sharing our blessings, and celebrating, as we anticipate the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Throughout the Advent season, the students will participate in prayer services, Reconciliation, and a variety of ways to prepare their hearts for the birth of Jesus. Click here to see how we celebrate.
