This Saturday!

At Home Projects available!

Dear OLG, 

So many awesome things have happened and continue to happen this week! We had two field trips on Earth Day to the Botanical Gardens (2nd gr) and a trip to UW for an Indigenous Walking Tour (7th gr pictured here!) We had a special visit from NED (see Counselor’s Corner below), and saw a truly fantastic performance of Annie the Musical by our incredibly talented 8th graders today!

We hope that you will join us tonight at 7pm in the gym, as we see the second performance, and celebrate our entire 8th grade class. Of course, this production would not have been possible without the gifts and talents of Nikki Womac who is the director of the show, and the generosity of Dave Walmesley and family for the lights and sound, and our entire musical team, Ms. Savio, Mr. Santos, Mr. Casey and Natalie Trius who help out as well. Thank you to the parents, volunteers, family members, and the litany of wonderful folks who helped to champion our students and make this production what it is! Don’t wait for the Sun to Come Out Tomorrow to see this great performance, or you’ll miss it! Grab your friends and family and alumni bring your former classmates! See you tonight! 

In some other news, tomorrow our 1-4th grade classes will be visited by a group from the Archdiocese to learn about a shrine to Mary, the Mother of God, that the Archdiocese is seeking to construct here in Seattle. Our 1st-4th graders will get to learn about a program started by St. Pope John Paul II when he was our Pope in the 1990s, and about the way in which Mary is important to Catholics and Christians around the world. They will get to provide input, over the course of the month of May, about what a shrine and place to pray for Mary should look like and should include. More information will be coming home to 1st-4th grade families at the start of the month. But tomorrow, we will get to hear about the children that Mary appeared to at Fatima in 1917, and hear about the importance of the Rosary to Catholics. 

Lastly, please see some important information below about staffing changes and updates, and the other excellent news shared below. We hope to see you at Day of Service on Saturday!
