Weekly Update

Of Particular Note:

As OLMC families know, the school is able to offer discounted tuition for multiple children and reduced tuition rates for families with financial need because of an aggressive fundraising commitment. This year, because of the Covid pandemic, we can’t hold our most important fundraising event- the Spring Gala. Instead we are inviting folks to support OLMC School by participating in our Spring Super 50/50.

This initiative is very important, so, please, invite your friends and family members to participate. The jackpot is up to $7500- and growing all the time! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to take home half! Promoting this is a great way to support our school through a difficult time and a chance to win BIG! One lucky winner will be announced on June 10th!

Mr. Minson has officially entered the 21st century with his Daily Reflections recorded as video blogs! His Headmaster’s Blog provides outreach to families and daily shares with us the ways in which OLMC continues to reach the minds and the hearts of its students.

Congratulations to all our students and teachers for their tremendous success in this year’s Read-A-Thon! Prizes have been ordered and are coming soon and plans for virtual celebrations are underway!

Drum roll please. . .

The theme of our last Field Day, on Friday, May 29th, will be the War for Independence! Gear up for an epic battle of wits and strength!

VIRES AQUIRIT EUNDO!

(WE GET STRONGER AS WE GO!)

The Balan family has twins on the way and could use some support as Margo, in her third trimester, carries her babies as far as possible to term. Please visit the Meal Train for the Balan Family if you would like to help. Thank you!

Visit our webpage Stronger Together for many resources on how you and your kids can remain connected to the friends and community so close to our hearts. Here you will find many resources including our Headmaster’s Blog and Parent Support Page.

Learning By Heart in the Time of Pandemic

Claire Moore, Mr. Agnew’s Grandmother, reciting “The Charge of the Light Brigade” by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

Because, with memorization, that is truly what we hope to accomplish- to write the passage on our heart.  This way, even if it is not immediately in our mind, it is in us somewhere, for all time.
