OLVCS Updates
January 29th, 2026
Dear OLVCS Families,
It has been a Catholic Schools Week for the record books. We seem to always have a weather disruption, but to my knowledge, never each day! A special thank you to the teachers who adjusted schedules, fit in our CSW special events, and instructed with grace.
As a reminder tomorrow we have a 2-hour delay, and it is also a Dress Down Day. Students are encouraged to wear their OLV Spirit wear, Walk-A-Thon t-shirts or fleeces with jeans or sweats.
Sunday at the 9:30 Mass we will close CSW. There will be donuts and coffee in the Activities Center afterwards. Students should wear their Mass uniform. We will still attend Mass on Monday, February 2nd.
Finally, as we wrap up the week, I am grateful for you and your trust and partnership in choosing OLVCS for your children. Thank you.
Make it a Great Day!
Samantha

SJCA Ambassadors visited OLVPS during Catholic Schools Week and read to all classes, sharing their gifts, talents and insights. We are grateful for this collaborative opportunity!
Just as an old woman in Candace Christiansan's book; The Mitten Tree knit and left mittens on a tree for children who had none, we too are collecting mittens for our Mitten Tree to give to those in need. Donations will go to Out of the Cold. Final due date is 01/30. Thank you!
