OLVCS Updates

OLVCS UpdatesDecember 5th, 2024

Dear OLVCS Families,

We have Mass tomorrow, and then again on Monday for the Feast of The Immaculate Conception. Mass on Monday will be at 10:00 am. The time has changed since our last update. Students are to wear their Mass uniforms both days. We are flipping Monday’s and Friday’s schedule, so students who typically have PE on Mass day will still have their class. (Friday)


On Tuesday, December 10th is our Christmas Concert, this year we will be back in the church. We were hoping to hold the concert in the gym, however, we had one of the two heating units break. The part will not arrive in time to fix the unit. PE classes have been fine; it’s a lot different to run around for 30 minutes vs sitting for an hour and half.


  • Concert starts at 6:30
  • Arrive at 6:00 in Mass uniform; unless otherwise notified by the teacher/Mrs. Capozzi
  • Elementary students will sit with their teacher for the entirety of the concert
  • Afterwards, please pick your child up from the pew, and make eye contact so that we can ensure each child is picked up


Make it a Great Day!

Samantha

Even if you can only help out once in while, that would take the pressure off our regular guest teachers. Please let me know if you are willing to serve as a guest teacher or guest aide. Both are needed. Thanks and God bless!
