1.   Thank you to all those families who supported our Home & School   
      "Mother's Day Plant Sale!"  The students were very selective and happy
      with their choices.  The trails of soil through the school were mimimal so
      all evidence of it will be swept away by tonight!  
2.   Congratulations to our Burger King Phillies ticket winners: Zoey Boos
      (Pre-K 4A) and Ryan Yates (1A)!
3.    Grades 7 & 2 may bring in orders for pizza ($1.25) and ice cream on
       Monday for their lunches on Tuesday!
4.   This weekend, Mr. Severino, now at Nazareth Academy, will bring his team 
      from Nazareth to the National Rocketry Competion in Virginia.  Annalise
      Schuck (8B) is still part of that team from last year and will be
      participating.  We wish them the very best and a safe return.  (Last year
      this OLC team placed 6th in the nation out of 100 competing schools, the
      majority of which were high school teams!) Just sayin'...
5.   This morning, Sister Elaine, a Sister of the Immaculate Heart (IHM) came
      to OLC to present Daniel Wang (7C) with a certificate and prize for being in
      the top ten (out of 1500 students along the East Coast) in the recent online 
      Math Competition.  Sister explained that it was extraordinary for a 7th
      grader to be in the top ten and she just had to meet this gifted young lad! A
      heartfelt congratulations to Daniel, his loving and supportive
      parents/family, and the guidance of Mrs. Cox and his teachers over the
      years!
6.   To all Mothers and those who offer motherly love and care, please have a
       richly blessed and relaxing Mother's Day weekend!
