Used Uniforms Needed

Have uniforms to sell? It’s not too late to bring in your gently used uniforms to sell at the New Parents Night 6-13-12 and/or Registration Day in August.  Clean out those closets and make a little cash or donate the proceeds to Home & School.  Summer hours are through June and you can bring them in to the front office. See our online flyer for instructions and forms to properly label and price your uniforms for sale. Bring in your gently used items anytime before and we’ll get them in the sale. If your items sell, you’ll receive the full purchase price. Home & School offers the used uniform sale as a free service to our school families so all of the proceeds go back to you. Or you can choose to donate the proceeds back to Home & School to support arts, cultural and other programs for our students.

Uniforms @ Sunday Morning Masses

Uniforms This Sunday at 9:00 & 11:00 Masses

This Sunday, May 6th, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School will be holding an open house from 10am-1:00pm for interested families. We are asking students to show their school spirit by wearing their uniforms to mass. Student Council will be doing the readings and other school families will be presenting the gifts at these masses.

Students who wear their uniform to mass will be granted a jeans day next week. To receive credit, please see Gina Watson AFTER mass in front of the school office. She will be taking down students’ names to pass along to the teachers.

Thank you for helping us promote OLMC to other families in the parish.

Principal’s Corner

Parents: Father John asked members of the School Advisory Board to form a committee to update our current logo over two years ago. After many versions, I am happy to announce the new school logo that will be transitioned in over several months.

The new logo has symbols of the school’s mission.

The cross serves as a reminder of our Christian faith and the sacrificial love which we have received and are called to bring to the world. The lit candle represents the light of Christ. In the lighting of candles, we remember and truly live the words of our Lord: “I am the Light of the World.” The book not only represents the Bible, but the importance of the school’s role in educating the students. Education serves as the means to bring about the desired change in society, to develop a generation of virtuous individuals and thus contribute to the development of good human beings.

I want to address parent concerns over how this affects the school uniforms. Students may continue to wear the current logo for many years. Dennis Uniforms still has a small supply of uniforms printed with the current logo and once sold, will begin printing uniforms with the new logo. The Used Uniform program will continue to accept the current logo until the school year 2015-2016.

While updating the logo, the committee also took the opportunity to look at our school mascot design. There have been many different versions used over the years and moving forward we want to provide a consistent look. The new mascot design was announced to the students last quarter and will be used for sport uniforms, Spirit Store items, etc.

I understand that change is hard at times but these changes will help position our school for the future.
