“Catholic Schools-A+ for America”

The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2011 celebrates the fact that Catholic schools are an added value (“a plus”) for the nation. Because of their traditionally high academic standards and high graduation rates, all supported by strong moral values, Catholic schools and their graduates make a definite contribution to American society. Catholic schools give a high level of service (the A+ level) to local communities because of the many service projects students undertake. “Giving back to the community” and “helping others” are values instilled in every Catholic school student. Catholic schools give a high level of service to the nation (the A+ level) by serving students from all economic backgrounds and giving them a strong academic and moral foundation, allowing them to succeed in life, serving in the government, industry, business, non-profit and educational fields.

At OLPH this week we will have many activities where we celebrate what is unique about our Catholic school. We have invited members of ARC to play kick-ball with us as one community on Monday. On Tuesday we will celebrate Community Day. We will honor our wonderful students on Wednesday with Student Appreciation Day. On Thursday all of our families are invited to eat lunch with their child for Family Day. On Friday we will have Teacher Appreciation Day. All week long we will have our book fair open. On Saturday, January 29th, 2011 we have our Catholic Schools Week mass and Open House will follow the mass.

Thank you for choosing a Catholic education for your child!
