Dear OLLRCS Families,

I hope you are enjoying (or already enjoyed) a beautiful weekend! Spring in Michigan is wonderful! Although we have so many ways to communicate with each other, somehow, effective communication continues to be one of the most difficult goals to achieve. As I reflect on the first school year as your principal, and begin to contemplate the 2017-2018 school year, I ask you toplease forgive any communication weaknesses on my part and know that I am constantly striving to improve! This letter is an example! Your student should have come home last Friday (May 5th) with lots of flyers and other items. This letter will explain some of those items and provide other very important information. For this reason, I am emailing this letter to families and will also be sending it home in print on Monday.

Wednesday, May 10th 9 am Mass followed by May Crowning of Mary
