Some thoughts for the starting school year
Dear Our Lady of the Lake Families,
Fall is upon us, along with all the fun and excitement the season brings! We have many things to look forward to at Our Lady of the Lake this month.
Be on the lookout for information about our annual fall field trip. We are excited to announce that we will be visiting a new location this year! Our Preschool and Pre-K students will also celebrate their annual Harvest Party, which is always a fun fall tradition.
Our teachers are looking forward to attending the MANS Conference, where they will have the opportunity to learn new ideas and strategies to bring back to their classrooms. It is also a wonderful chance for our staff to spend time together, grow professionally, and strengthen our team outside of the school day.
As the weather begins to get colder, please remember to send your child with appropriate outdoor clothing, including jackets, hats, and gloves when needed. We will continue to get outside whenever weather conditions and supervision allow.
October is sure to be a busy and exciting month! I am grateful for the energy, enthusiasm, and support our students, staff, and families bring to OLL each day. I look forward to enjoying all that this fall season has in store for our school community!
Yours in Christ
Mrs. Angie McKuen
