Halloween Celebration – October 31, 2011

As a Halloween tradition at Our Lady Queen of Angels, students arrive in the morning to see their school decorated with a festive Halloween spirit. Students were dressed in their costume of choice and ready for a fun-filled day. All classes enjoyed yummy treats and milk provided by the hard work of Mrs. Selva and Mrs. McGee, Room Mom Coordinators. A big thank you to them and all the Room Moms for keeping this tradition going!

The day continued with our Halloween parade through Carson Field where students were able to see the costumes that all the students were wearing as they marched on by per grade level. Coach K emceed the parade and announced the winners of the student-judged pumpkin and poem contests.

A Drug-Free OLQA

Written By: Feng V - Oct• 23•11

Red Ribbon Week – October 23-31, 2011

Our Lady Queen of Angels participated in the Red Ribbon Week drug prevention campaign October 23-31, 2011.  Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle in the prevention of drug use by educating our youth with the ultimate goal being a drug free America. Each day the students participated in an activity to educate and support the cause.

Monday: “I Pledge To Be Drug Free” Students pledged to be drug free and signed their name during the day on the Drug Free Banner. Teachers talked to the students about what it means to take the pledge to be drug-free and passed out Drug Free wristbands. 

Tuesday: Red Ribbon Day Each class received red ribbons to tie to the white fence that is at the exit of our parking lot. The Drug Free Banner was hung on the fence from Monday to Friday along with the ribbons.

Wednesday: “Hats off to a Drug Free School” Students wore their favorite hat to school to reiterate the importance of being drug free and say “hats off to a drug free school.”

 

 

 

 

Thursday: “Sock It to Drugs” Students wore crazy socks all day for “Sock it to Drugs Day”.  This was a fun way to remind students that it’s fun saying “no” to drugs.

Friday: Run/Walk From Drugs – Fun Run!!!    

Each class participated in a run around the course during PE.  The message was to teach our students about keeping their bodies healthy by exercising and to maintain a healthy lifestyle by staying away from drugs.

Parent Reception – September 2011 

PSA Membership Chairs Mari Anna Johnson & Cindi Morales planned the OLQA Parent Reception after mass on the first day of school. The reception – an OLQA tradition is a perfect way to meet new parents, or get reacquainted after summer break. It’s also a time to sign up for the various volunteer opportunities, get questions answered and meet the members of the Parent Service Auxiliary.

Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Morales also organized the OLQA New Family Welcome Reception the evening of September 15. Thank you to the ladies for planning an evening where new parents can meet off campus in a social environment, become acquainted with their Guardian Angel family and our wonderful administrators.
