We’ve just finished our first week of the 2022-2023 school year at OLA!  Our theme for this year is “God Has Given Us a Future of Hope” which has been adapted from Jeremiah 29:11.  My wish for all students as they begin school this year is that they can catch glimpses of the wonderful future that God has for them and that they can learn how to make their hopes into reality.
-Matt Falk, Principal

This summer, we don’t have an assigned summer reading book for students but we are asking all returning students entering the 6th, 7th and 8th grades to read one grade-level appropriate book over the summer.  Their reading teacher will interview each student upon returning to school in the fall about the book that they read.  This will count as one of their first reading grades for the first quarter next year.

Drop off supplies and meet the teachers on Thursday , September 1 from 4-6:30.
