A Note From Our Principal
Dear OLV Family,
This year, more so than ever, Advent comes at a time when we all need it. It is a perfect opportunity for us all to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with our faith and family. This year has been so tough for so long. The stress of the year from the pandemic and all the fallout has been extremely difficult to deal with.
PTO Fried/Smoked Turkey Fundraiser
The PTO is sponsoring a great new fundraiser just in time for the holidays! Little Donkey restaurant on Hwy. 280 has been gracious to partner with OLV School in a fundraising opportunity. If you purchase a fried or smoked turkey breast (feeds 6-8 people) between now and December 29, OLV School will receive a portion of the proceeds. Click on the button for details or to order your turkey! Inquiries to Heather Rose.
Welcome Fr. Kelly!
We welcome to OLV Fr. Kelly... We are glad you are here!
College Spirit Day
Although Auburn was officially the team with the highest amount of money raised at the 2020 BALL, the organizers of the event graciously allowed everyone to dress in their favorite team's colors on our Spirit Day in November. A variety of teams were represented, but the standard rivalry in our state definitely stood out!
Balloons On Parade
After reading Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet, the 5th grade had the task of creating their own balloon float given a set of supplies and a time limit. The creativity was awesome and the students had a blast with the challenge!
Donation & Tax Credit Opportunity
Catholic Charities Scholarships help to make a Catholic education accessible to families within the Diocese of Birmingham. The organization is accepting donations which, if made before the end of the year, can be used as a deduction on 2020 tax returns. Please consider a donation to this worthy cause. Contact your tax advisor for details about deductions. Watch this short video for a brief overview or click the button for more details.
Idioms In Action!
The sixth grade stretched their creative muscles and came up with a way to demonstrate their favorite idiom for Literature class. These are just a few examples... Can you guess them all?
A Lesson of Remembrance
In recognition of Veteran's Day, the Seventh grade performed "Eternal, Father, Strong to Save" (otherwise known as "The Navy Hymn") to commemorate Veteran's day and to give thanks for their service at Thanksgiving. We are very proud of their talent, voices, and patriotism!
"Eternal Father, Strong to Save" is a British hymn...
