Formal Registration for K-8 Has Begun

Tuition contracts for K-8 were mailed to families two weeks ago.  The return of the tuition contract and the registration fee, discounted for OLV parishioners and returning families from $150 to $100 per student when returned before April, is the formal enrollment process for 2022-23.  Please contact the school office or Fr. Jake right away if you did not receive your contract.

Pre-school and Daycare Registration

Registration for all sections of 3 year old preschool, 4/5 year old preschool, and ECLC is underway for all families.  Morning classes fill up quickly, in particular, so do not delay PS registration.

Crusader Theater Try-outs for 6th-8th Graders

This year’s Crusader Theater production is Encyclopedia Brown.  Encyclopedia Brown is a series of books staring young detective “Encyclopedia” Brown who solves all sorts of mysteries for his friends, the neighbors, and even the police.  Spanning publication dates of nearly 50 years, the series has led to a comic strip, a TV series, and other related items.  Crusader Theater is open to all 6th-8th graders.  Performances are scheduled for May 13 at 6:30 p.m. and May 14 at 3:00 p.m.

Auditions:
Tuesday: 3:15-5:00
Wednesday: 3:15-5:00, as needed
