PRE-REGISTRATION GOING ON NOW
As most of you know, OCS Tuition rates have been reduced from an 8% increase to a 4% increase. This reduction is a result of all of the OCS Faculty accepting a Salary Freeze for the 2009-2010 School Year. You can get on line to see the revised cost. Pre-registration is being extended to April 10, however we would like to get as many forms in before Spring Break as possible. If you need a Registration Form, please contact the school office.

Race for Education and May Procession
Many parents have asked what time and where the K-3 students will be walking for our Race for Education. We will be walking in the afternoon on May 1 (probably around 1:00). We are still working out the details, but we plan on walking around the neighborhood and tying our “walk” in with our May Procession. We will end the walk by making a Living Rosary and praying the rosary together as a school. Look for more information soon!

Congratulations to the following students who reached Accelerated Reader Milestones:
