1. PRINCIPAL’S CORNER
Dear OLMC Community,
I hope that all our families have had a blessed Easter Break. We look forward to welcoming the students back to campus tomorrow.
The next few weeks will be busy on campus as we prepare for the OLMC Festival, Mt. Carmel Fiesta, on April 21st. I want to thank all our families who have signed up to fulfill their six hour service commitment to the festival and those who have donated to the festival auction by donating items or FFT gift cards. Kids Raffle tickets can be turned in every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. this week. The Home and School Board will be hosting a Coffree on Friday, April 13th. All donations and raffle tickets will be accepted through next week. As many of you know, all money raised from the festival goes to benefit the school and students. Thank you for your support.
Friday is a half-day this week. All students on campus after 12:45 will be sent to Kid’s Club.
Sincerely,
Bruce Hermie
Principal
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School
