OLVCS Updates
December 12th, 2024
Dear OLVCS Families,
A special thanks to Mrs. Sherry Capozzi, Mrs. Sandy Muller and Mrs. Sally Minnich; the Christmas Concert was beautiful.
We have had a Mass schedule change. Father George has asked to switch Mass to Monday, December 16th. It will be at 9:00 am (our regular school Mass time). Please have your students wear their Mass uniform on Monday, 12/16.
Christmas ties and bows: middle school boys may wear a Christmas tie in place of their uniform tie for Mass, and girls may wear Christmas bows.
Friday, December 20th Dress Down Day: the Theme is Christmas
I will have ankle and foot surgery on December 19th, and will be out of school Thursday and Friday (12.19 & 20). After break I will be out from January 6th - 17th. My doctor was pretty confident that I could return the week of January 20th. Iām praying for that timeline. With all that, I will be working from home those days. While I am out, Ms Bord and Mr. Stec will be taking care of the day to day operations. Feel free to reach out to me or them if you need anything.
Make it a Great Day!
Samantha

Parish Happenings
The CCD program is in need of more guest teachers.
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!
We are always looking to add to our OLVCS family!
- Bring a friend!
- We have space available at all grade levels for enrollment.
- Be sure to spread the word about OLVCS!
- New families can learn about the application process at www.olvcatholicschool.org/admissions or call the school office at 814-238-1952 to schedule a tour or shadow day.
