The OLQA School Auction, “Trailblazing….Forging a path for our children’s future”, was a grand success and an evening to be remembered by all! Our 2016 Auction Co-Chairs, Leslie Boyd & Dana Strader, did an outstanding job spearheading the event and the effort from the team of tireless volunteers was tremendous. Many thanks also goes to the entire Trailblazing team, the underwriters, donors, faculty, staff & administration, and all of the volunteers and guests who supported this event. It could not have been done without you! Our students and our school will benefit significantly.

On the morning of January 20th, our 6th grade students waived goodbye to their parents as they departed for their 4-day Outdoor Science Camp in the San Bernadino mountains. Students learned about ecology, botany, animals, and astronomy while enjoying the outdoors and having fun. 6th grade teachers, Mr. Landero and Ms. Szeibert accompanied the students. A tradition at OLQA School is for these campers to receive a warm homecoming from the OLQA student body and faculty – and that they did!

The concert began with everyone singing O Come, All Ye Faithful, accompanied by Dr. Patricia Lamb at the organ, and closed with the traditional verses of Angels We Have Heard on High.
