The season of Fall has arrived. As the air turns crisp and the vibrant colours of Fall paint the world around us, we can't help but marvel at the majesty of God's creations. The students at OLA are embracing Fall by playing with the leaves and creating Fall artwork.
Next week is a short week. The students have school on Tuesday, Wednesday (Early Out) and Thursday. Hopefully the Fall weather will give the students the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.
