OLGC Parish Pictorial Directory
NEW PICTORIAL DIRECTORY TO CELEBRATE OUR CHURCH
 
As we begin our celebration of 90 years as a parish and 10 years in our new church building, we are excited to announce that we are going to create a new pictorial directory of our church family. The directory will be an ideal outreach tool and will capture the history of our church congregation. It will also help us connect names and faces in our church community.
 
Please participate! All we ask is that you have your picture taken by the professional photographer and meet with a portrait consultant at the church. We will be making appointments before and after liturgies during the latter part of July and early in August. Or you can sign up right now online at www.signup.olanmills.com. To sign up online you need either the Church Contract Number, which is 54156, or the Church Phone Number, which is 734-453-0326.
 
Our scheduled dates for Photography and Portrait Viewing are:
August 16-21
September 14-18
September 21-25
September 28- October 2
 
Please sign up as soon as possible to get the best appointment to fit your schedule, especially those families with children heading off to college. Those of you who sign up online by Friday, July 9 will be entered into a drawing to receive a $25 Olan Mills Gift Certificate.
 
  • Every participating family/household that selects a pose for the directory will receive a free directory and a complimentary 8x10 Custom Natural Portrait. 
  • You will come to the church only once for photography and for portrait viewing. 
  • The program is available at no cost to the Church. 
  • You will have the opportunity to order additional portraits during your scheduled appointment time. 
  • If you wish to purchase extras, the portraits come with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. 
  • Whether you decide to dress formally or casually, you will want to make the most of this opportunity. 
Please watch future bulletins for additional information.
 
Sincerely,

~ Calling All Crusader Cheerleaders ~ Go Green! Go Gold!
The OLGC Cheerleading Program is looking for girls (3rd - 8th grade for the 2010-2011 school year) with school-spirit, enthusiasm, and an interest in performing as a cheerleader!  Registration is open through June 18 at http://www.olgccrusaders.com/ so sign up now!

There will be an optional information meeting for any parent whose daughter is interested in learning more about the Crusader Cheer program for the Fall season.    Cheer parent meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 8 at 7 pm at the church in the Father Burn conference room.  If you have specific questions, please plan on attending!  If you would like to get more involved in the cheer program, please plan on attending!  At the meeting, we will also outline the cheer season schedule, and discuss the interest in CYO competitive cheer, which can begin in 5th grade.

Depending on the level of participation, and the number of people who volunteer to coach, we would like to be able to offer separate cheer teams for each grade, to cheer for our Crusader football teams on Saturdays!

Please contact me if you have any questions before the meeting.  Email me at jeaninedeguzman@yahoo.com

OUT OF UNIFORM DAY FUNDRAISER FOR HACIENTA UNO JUNE 4TH
After my trip to El Salvador and Haciendita Uno last year, I have kept in touch with many of the people I met there, especially the principal of the school.  He informed me that the school is in desperate need of bookshelves for the classrooms.  In an effort to help raise money for the school in Haciendita Uno, we are going to have an out of uniform day.  
This will take place on Friday, June 4th, and students are asked to bring in $1  in order to be out of uniform. 
I also have some hand-painted wooden crosses that were made in El Salvador.  They are about 3” x 1.5”, and they can be used as an ornament or a magnet.  While I sold some of these at the ice cream social, I still have some left. The cost for these crosses is $5.  If you are interested in the crosses, please send in your money with your name and El Salvador crosses written on the envelope to the office, and I will make sure you get a cross if I still have any left.
Thank you for all your help and support with our sister community!

ATTENTION PARENTS – DISMISSAL SAFETY CONCERNS

We have noticed a growing problem at dismissal that we need to share with you and ask for your help in resolving it.  There has been in increase in the number of unattended and unsupervised children at dismissal running around cars, the dumpster, and the parking lot.  In many cases these children are throwing balls, fighting, or running in the street.  We recently had a near miss involving a car and a very young child.  Student’s who are being picked up need to go to and remain at their cars.   No students, or their siblings should be left unattended. 

We have also had a significant increase in the number of dogs being brought to dismissal.   Many of our students are afraid or uncomfortable around dogs.  We ask that if you need to bring your dog to dismissal that they be left in the car so as to maintain a safe environment and respect the space and feelings of others. 

We are also reminding all of our parents who drive that we are a neighborhood school and as such we must be good neighbors to those who live around us.  In particular we need to be aware of the fact that our neighbors need to be able to come and go freely from their driveways and homes.  Please be respectful of their needs as you come and go from the school lot.  Thank you for your help and cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Reilly and Mr. Czaplicki
