One Moore thing... (1/15/20)

Parents,

Today a student told me, quite out of the blue, "Ms. Moore, we have a wonderful school!"  I was taken aback.  Not because I disagree, I wholeheartedly agree with the student about our school.  Not because I thought this was out of character for the student, I know this student to be extremely kind, considerate, and thoughtful, so it was just the kind of thing he would say.  I think it took me a second to know how to respond because I wish I had said it first.  I wish I could say it out loud from the top of the building each day. (that would be strange and dangerous,  maybe something I could get  Mr. Long to do)  I have said it before, plenty of times, but it touched my heart to hear it said so honestly and with so much love from a student who just wanted to share what he knew to be true.  I hope that as we approach Catholic Schools Week, at the end of the month, that we find time to share with others what we treasure about OLOL and let our actions speak louder than words.  When we know our school is wonderful we get our homework done on time, we are gentle and caring with our friends, and we say thank you to our teachers and parents who make this all possible.  All of us together make OLOL wonderful.  It wouldn't be wonderful without good people working hard to do what is right. God has blessed us all at OLOL and it is our responsibility to show our gratitude by being an active part of keeping OLOL the wonderful place that it is and will continue to be! 

Thank you for your support and for all you do to make OLOL wonderful!
Ms. Moore
