This was a wonderful day and a joy to share with all the students, families, grandparents, faculty, and staff at OLOL. I wish you and all your family a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thanks for all the support you offered to the Little Sisters of the Poor. Monday, the 8th grade, Mrs. Stallsmith, and Monsignor Filardi spent the morning with the Little Sisters of the Poor, interacting with the retired adults, attending Mass, and unloading the food and items off the bus. It was a wonderful morning. The pie sale was a huge success for our 8th grade fundraising efforts. Thanks to all the talented home bakers who made such "priceless" pies for us to share with our own families on Thanksgiving. Thanks to everyone who purchased a pie and for all the donations. The 8th grade raised $700 on our pie sale. Some announcements as we head off to Thanksgiving Break and prepare to return in the Season of Advent: Coat of Many Colors Coat Drive We are once again collecting gently used coats that are in good condition. We will be supporting the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington in their drive to bring warm coats, hat, scarves, gloves and NEW sock to those in need. Please see the flyer below and on our homepage for more information. Christmas Sock, Ties, and Headbands Starting Monday, December 2, students (& faculty and staff) can wear Christmas socks, ties, headbands to school.
