OLVCS Updates
January 8th 2025
Dear OLVCS Families,
It is so good to be back, we have had a wonderful first week.. I love starting the week with Mass. Fr. George is excellent with the students, and Monday was no different. Hearing from them about their Christmas gifts was entertaining, celebrating Mass as a school is priceless.
Over the break we have started the ‘Stage Project’. The stage is a place where every student in the building stands at some point during the school year. Many events, the Christmas concert, musical, spring concert, spelling bee, and more take place on the stage. Have you ever wished for better lighting or sound? Or notice the age of the curtains? Well the time has come for an upgrade! Over the break we had the stage floor removed and a new floor installed. Starting on the 12th and continuing for about six weeks, we will have new lights, sound and curtains added.. It is so very exciting. We will keep you updated on the progress.
Make it a great day!
Samantha
