Notes from the Teacher:
 
-Registration to attend OCS for the 2017-2018 School Year for CURRENT families will be from March 6- March 17. This year you MUST do 3 things before you can apply for Financial Assistance:
1) Register online   2) Turn in a parish voucher   3) Pay the $50 registration fee
If you do this by March 17, the $50 goes  toward your tuition.  Registration helps us plan for staffing for next year, so please register early!  If your child will need After School Care, you will also sign up for this during online registration. This program fills up quickly, so don’t delay in signing up!

-We are collecting new stuffed animals and dolls for children in foster care in Kentucky for a Lenten Service Project.  The donation deadline is March 31.  Thank you!
