Joy Jars

Written By: Feng V - Sep• 20•12

After Mass in the Parish Hall on Thursday, September 20th, Erik Rees from The Jessie Joy Rees Foundation spoke to our school about the foundation his daughter, Jessie created to help pediatric cancer patients during their hospital stays. This was a very special day for our students to learn the kindness a child can have even during the gravest times. It also started off a yearlong OLQA Enrichment Program that our children will be participating in through May. Students will be bringing small gifts throughout the year to fill these joy jars that Carrie started in order to bring a very sick child some happiness. The first collection coincided with Red Ribbon Week’s theme, “Sock it to Drugs Day” as students brought in a new pair silly socks to put in the jar. Thank you to Jen Awad and Christine McKenna, our PSA Enrichment Chairs for bringing this opportunity to our students.

Field Day

Field Day June 12, 12

Field day at our school is a time to let loose and have some fun in the sun!  We have 20 different games that range from a 48-inch volleyball, hoops, ring toss, scooters, soccer, javelin throwing to balloon launching for accuracy.  Two teams compete at each game for 10 minutes and the winner gets a winning ticket that goes to the scoreboard.  At the end of field day the team with the most wins is crowned the champion field day team until next year.  Students get to munch on nutritious snacks and yummy treats, including cotton candy and snow cones!

Congratulations to all and of course to this year’s winning team – ORANGE!

Students cheered on as they watched three of Team Soil’s cyclists perform thrilling stunts, one of which included  jumping over five OLQA teachers!! They also reinforced the importance of bike safety, and to stay active during the summer!

Eighth Grade Brunch

Written By: Feng V - May• 31•12
It’s an annual tradition at OLQA for the 7th graders to host a brunch for the 8th graders. This year’s clever theme was based on Dr. Seuss’ classic book – “Oh the Places You’ll Go!”.  Yummy breakfast burritos, Jamba Juice and donut holes were served.  The 7th graders presented acrostic poems about each of the 8th graders.  The 8th graders received a copy of “Oh the Places You’ll Go!” and enjoyed a candy party favor.  Many thanks to the 7th grade room moms and their committee for a wonderful event!!
