It’s Olympic-a-thon time! We are in the third week of pledge collections. So far we have had amazing class participation and the corporate sponsorships are rolling in! There are great recognition opportunities for our generous donors and every pledge gets our students closer to the Knott’s Berry Farm Trip! The actual Olympic-a-thon will be held on April 16th. Contact the school office to become a sponsor. Great job Trojans.
All parents and students are invited to join us for our Annual Open House on Saturday, January 30, 2010. We will begin with mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church located at 10727 S. Downey Avenue at 5:00 p.m. Open House will begin at 6:30 p.m. on the school campus. Classrooms will be open for visits with the teacher and students. Application packets will be available. We will also schedule appointments for student testing and family interviews for the upcoming school year. Open House will end at 7:30 p.m so plan to arrive early and tour our great school. New students who attend one of our two annual Open House events and register to attend OLPH School next year will be put in a drawing for amazing prizes! Be sure to sign in when you visit one of the classrooms. We look forward to meeting you. Feel free to call our school office if you have any questions regarding Open House or School Admission.

A Catholic Education pays Dividends for Life!
We would like to Thank The Aquistapace Foundation for their very generous donation of five Netbook computers. The Netbooks will be used for a variety of Middle School Language Arts programs.
The Netbooks join our growing Technology Program. Last year the OLPH Women’s Guild donated 9 digital cameras. The cameras are available for each teacher to be used as needed. Recently, Language Arts teacher, Miss Molly Smith was awarded a grant from the Downey Federal Credit Union to purchase a Documentation Camera. The documentation camera allows teachers to project live activities so that the entire class can view what the teacher is doing.
We are excited about the prospects of our increasing Technology Program at OLPH School. Thank you Aquistapace Foundation and Downey Federal Credit Union.
A message from our Principal, Mrs. Steffani McMains

As principal, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Our Lady of Perpetual Help School website! We are very proud of our school and are pleased to share our school community with you. In September 2008, our school celebrated 60 years of providing a Catholic Education to the children of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish.
The faculty and staff of Our Lady’s School are dedicated to providing a well-rounded education, in which our religious beliefs are integrated into our academic curriculum. We think Our Lady’s school is a very special place.
All of our parents give service to our school and participate in a variety of activities that assist and enrich each of our students. Our Pastor, Father Mark Warnstedt, invites the entire school community to join the parish community in celebrating Friday Mass together each week. Our students are given the opportunity to serve as Lectors, Ushers and Altar Servers at these masses.
OLPH students are active in Christian Service, Student Council, Athletics, PeaceBuilders, Art Club, Academic Decathlon, Speech Contest, Geography Bee, Science Fair, Student Newspaper, Prayer Club, Student Ambassadors, Respect Life, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Cheerleading and Altar Serving.
I hope as you journey through our website you will be able to appreciate the very special place that is Our Lady of Perpetual Help School.
