If you weren’t feeling the Christmas spirit you certainly are now that we have watched another wonderful Christmas program! Thank you to Mr. Cross and all of our students for a great program! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! A time for all of us to remember the true meaning of Christmas. A time to be with family near and far. A time to relax from all the hustle and bustle of the weeks leading up to Christmas. A time to give gifts, to receive gifts, but most of all to celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ…something that we have been preparing for these last several weeks. The manger in school is full of straw and ready for baby Jesus! So many good deeds accomplished by all of our students in anticipation of Christmas. A big thank you to all of our families that have been volunteering for our various events, for being involved in the PTO, Dads’ Club, being here for all of our students and giving back to our school in so many ways.

Thank you OLV Preschool for sharing your beautiful voices by singing Christmas

Carols to the Parish Staff !

OLV SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PROGRAMThe annual OLV School Christmas program was once

again a night to remember! The evening was kicked off with a few of our favorite Christmas songs performed first by the talented sixth grade band, and then followed by the seasoned seventh and eighth grade Orchestra band. The rest of the program was a mix of holiday favorites sung by all students in kindergarten through the fifth grade. The grand finale was the entrance of Mary, Joseph, angels, camels and the Three Wise Men along side the entire elementary student body singing Silent Night. Look for photos and video clips on the school website soon!

THANK YOU PTO!A special thank you to the PTO’s

Hospitality Committee for making a delicious dinner for the teachers and staff who needed to stay on site in between the school day and the Christmas Program.
