TUESDAY NOTE on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 Principal’s Message: Last week was eventful. The students had an enjoyable Red Ribbon Week. I would like to thank Mrs. Elaine Alexander for coordinating the activities. Our first grade students did an outstanding job presenting Saints Alive and hosting our school mass on Thursday, November 1st. I would like to thank Dawn del Rio, Dana Doyle, and everyone who helped make these events a success. It is hard to believe that the Thanksgiving holiday begins in two weeks. We have many important events before the break. Congratulations to our seventh grade volleyball team members. Our CSAL Varsity Volleyball team and our NIAL Varsity Volleyball team both advanced to the finals, and they are the Archdiocese of New Orleans CSAL Girls Senior Volleyball Runner-up and the NIAL Division I Varsity Girls Champions. Great job girls! Our CSAL boy’s JV and Varsity Flag Football teams finished the regular season in first place on the north shore. The JV Flag Football team will play in the semi-finals on Wednesday, and our Varsity Flag Football team will play in the Championship game on Thursday. Good luck boys! On Wednesday, November 7th, our fifth grade students will go on retreat to the Teresian Sisters Convent. Please keep them in your prayers. We will have our Donut Day and Birthday Lunch on Friday, November 9th. Progress reports for the second quarter will go home on Tuesday, November 13th. If you have any questions concerning your child’s progress, you can consult with his or her teacher. Also, remember that you can always follow your child’s progress through PowerSchool.

On Wednesday, November 14th, we will have school picture retakes. Fall sports team, cheerleaders, and dance team pictures will also be taken on November 14th. Please join us for our Thanksgiving Mass on Friday, November 16th, at 9:00 a.m. in the Msgr. Joseph Chotin Center. We are thankful for your support at OLL. Please join us to pray for all of the things for which we are grateful. Finally, we have begun our 28th Annual Fund Drive. Our goal this year is $65,000, of which $35,000 will go toward stipends for our faculty and staff. I am hoping to be able to present these stipends as a gift from you before the Christmas break. To achieve our goal, we need your help. Please give what you can. Please continue to pray that through the intercession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, our community and our neighbors on the Gulf Coast will be protected from any harm or damage during this hurricane season, and that those who have been affected by the recent hurricanes will know God’s compassion and strength. As always, you and your family are in my prayers. God Bless, Frank P. Smith, Principal

ROSARY GROUP All Our Lady of the Lake School parents and grandparents are invited to pray the rosary. The OLL School Rosary Group will typically meet the third Wednesday of the month at 7:45 a.m. in the church. Check the schedule below, as some months are irregular. The rosary is a powerful prayer that allows us to meditate on the life of Jesus and to get closer to Christ through his blessed mother, Mary. In the 1950s, Pope Pius XII said, “We put great confidence in the Holy Rosary for the healing of evils which afflict our times.” Those words ring true still today. Join us as we implore the help of Our Lady and pray this powerful prayer, The Rosary, each month.

Dear Parents,

Our Lady of the Lake School will be assembling Thanksgiving baskets for the less fortunate families in our community. As always, we encourage children to become involved with this project by donating food to families in need. Each class has been assigned certain food items, as is referenced in the attached list. We are asking each child to bring the assigned food to assist in creating the baskets. In addition, we have requested each class to create a Thanksgiving card to be included with the basket. We hope to assemble 33 baskets, representing each class at OLL.

Please note, we will kick off our food drive with on Friday, November 2nd. In anticipation of the LSU v. Alabama game, students may donate $2 or more to wear purple, gold, or LSU, and all money raised will be used to purchase turkeys for each basket. We will also begin our collection of the assigned non-perishable food during the week of November 2nd. The deadline for your child to bring in his/her donation is Tuesday, November 13th .

If you have any questions or would like to assist in preparing the baskets, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your generosity.
