St. Joseph Day


The second grade class did a wonderful job preparing the liturgy for Mass in honor of St. Joseph. The students also used this opportunity to honor the Sisters from OLSOS who belong to the community Sisters of Saint Joseph.

An Ooblek Day

Ooblek is a fictional form of green precipitation invented by children's author Dr. Seuss in the book Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Is it a liquid, or is it a solid? Will objects float, or will they sink? These are questions our Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students attempted to answer during an afternoon of science experiments. It was a little bit messy, but a whole lot of fun!

Read Across America Day



Is there a better way to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday than by reading? Not at OLSOS, our students read plenty of books today. This morning, our principal visited some of our classrooms and read a story to the students. In the afternoon, our young students met with their prayer partners and showed their language arts skills by reading a story to their older partner. The children in grades K through 4 were encouraged to come to school dressed as their favorite storybook character, and they did a great job!
