Thank you for the beautiful bouquets!
Teacher appreciation week: Tomorrow Tues. May 3rd Children can bring in one (or more) flowers to contribute towards handmade flower bouquets that will be distributed to all of our teachers. Thurs. May 5th Have your child make a card and bring it in for their homeroom teacher or favorite teacher/staff member around the school.
We have several open spots available in Kindergarten for the upcoming school year. Students enjoy learning to read and write in a variety of settings - whole group, small group, and individually. The students learn new math skills such as adding and subtracting and telling time. Teachers incorporate hands-on activities and math manipulatives into the lessons. Our social studies lessons revolve around learning about the history of Thanksgiving and the importance of historical figures. The highlight of our science lessons is watching the life cycle of butterflies right in our own classroom! Another aspect of our kindergarten curriculum is learning important social skills such as sharing, respecting others, and making new friendships. Most importantly, we learn about Jesus and how much He loves us. Visit www.olgcschool.org/admissions.
Kindergarten received caterpillars this week! Students will observe and record on what they see each day. Hopefully we will see some butterflies in the next few weeks!

In October, first graders placed trash from their snacks into hollow pumpkins. The pumpkins were placed in a container and covered with dirt. For Earth Day, the container returned to school and students saw for themselves the benefits of using biodegradable materials and composting!

Thank you Wildcats for making this year great! We celebrated all of our students today as they were promoted to the next grade after Mass. We said some hard goodbyes to staff who are off to new adventures next year and we were delighted with one last performance from our Kindergarten led by Mrs. Chan! See you in August Wildcats!

Congratulations to our 6th grade Wildcat whose essay, “The Ferocious Memphis Tigers”, won the 6th Grade Writing Workshop March Madness Writing Tournament. Competing in their own version of March Madness this past trimester, each student was assigned a team selected for the 2023 NCAA tournament and composed a persuasive essay based on the prompt: “March Madness has taken over the country. Your team has a chance to be the next NCAA champion!” Students researched the characteristics that made their team destined to win the championship and wrote from the point of view as their team’s biggest fan. In order to keep moving forward in the bracket and making it to the Final Four or refining their essays if they did not advance in their bracket, students edited and revised their writing before each round of the competition.

06/07/2023

Thank you to Mr. Stephen Ng for saying yes and giving his time to work with our Wildcat choir!

Now that the end of the school year approaches, it's yearbook season! This year's yearbook program has achieved the Jostens 2023 National Yearbook Program of Excellence award at the Gold Level. The National Yearbook Program of Excellence recognizes engaging yearbooks that reflect a broad representation of the student body while helping students develop 21st century skills such as communication, collaboration, and information and communication technologies (ICT) literacy. The award was presented to the OLGC yearbook program for achieving defined criteria in all three of the following categories: creating an inclusive yearbook, generating school engagement, and successfully managing the yearbook creation process. This is the fourth consecutive year that OLGC's yearbook program has earned this award. Congratulations to the yearbook staff on this accomplishment and thank you to Ms. Gonzales, Mrs. Degano, Mrs. Kahng, and the 8th grade student editors for their leadership this year

Congratulations to OLGC’s seventh and eighth grade Shakespeare Club for a successful week of performances. They have been working hard since October to bring their adaptation of Shakespeare’s As You Like It to the stage, and last week they performed the play at PVI’s Shakespeare Festival and in DeSales Hall for the OLGC community. Ms. Gonzales would like to thank all of the students for their hard work and creativity as well as the parents and other student volunteers who helped with various aspects of putting together this play, like set painting, costume design, and providing snacks to the student thespians!
