Good Afternoon Eagle Nation!
Here are the THREE things you need to know from the desk of Mr. Berry.
1) OLP Gives 3 G's
What's New: Over 56% of students participated in OLP Give Day 2020 on Friday, 11/13, raising over $2,200 for the school's general operations fund, collecting carloads of non-perishable food items for the Franciscan Brothers of Peace food shelf, and extending countless messages of grace to our well-deserving faculty.
Why It's Important: Despite these difficult times, seeing so many students take the time to think of others, whether through acts of kindness or donations, is a shining example of the high caliber ladies and gentlemen that make up this campus.
What's Next: Those students who completed the 3G Challenge will be receiving their out of uniform passes over the next week. In addition, as we successfully surpassed the $2,000 challenge which Mr. Berry extended Friday afternoon, a student JOY Cart will be making the rounds in the near future.

2) PSA on School Uniforms
What's New: Beginning this week, OLP will begin to crack down on uniform enforcement. Many students have started to take liberties with their interpretation of the OLP uniform code, which has led us to this decision.
Why It's Important: Part of our identity as a Catholic school is our uniform. When students join us on campus, they are asked to come in uniform to show that we are all called to this place with the common goal of being a part of a "caring, collaborative community educating students to be critical thinkers and thoughtful leaders."
What's Next: In order to provide an easy refresher on some of the uniform "dos & don'ts", we have created this handy infographic. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

3) Heggies Pizzas are Back!
What's New: Back by popular demand is the annual OLP Heggies Pizza Sale, raising money to support the OLP Athletic Department as well as the 8th Grade class trip next spring.
Why It's Important: Everybody loves pizza, and let's face it, there's not an easier dinner solution for a hungry family on a school night than throwing in a frozen pizza. The OLP Pizza sale allows you to keep your hungry family happy AND raise money for OLP at the same time. Money raised from this sale will go to help
the OLP Athletic Department fund new uniforms and equipment, as well as gym and concession upgrades for when we all get back to “normal”.
