EVENTS & EXPERIENCES
Our first story time was a wonderful morning of beautiful stories and favorite songs - with a fun twist! Please join Father Daniel and Miss Jilienne Winowski for our next session on Wednesday, October 11th at 9 am. The theme this week will be the limitlessness of love. All are welcome (and we serve coffee!), so feel free to bring grandparents, friends, neighbors, and kids of all ages. Story Time is held in Gordon Hall (in the basement of the church - guests must use the side door on Oak Street to enter). Email communications@olmcboonton.org with any questions. Registration not required but appreciated so we know how many participants to expect.
The first meeting of our parent/faculty book club was a tremendous success! All OLMC/LGA parents and faculty are invited to join us for our next meeting on November 29th at 7 pm. We’ll be reading Thornton Wilder’s The Bridge of San Luis Rey. Contact Theresa at theresa.k.macdonald@gmail.com to RSVP and for location details.
Mark your calendars for our first Wine & Cheese of the year on October 25th at 6:30 pm in the school. Our Wine & Cheese series is a great opportunity for parents and community members to come and learn more about a specific topic of interest and importance to classical Catholic education and the OLMC/LGA experience in particular. This month our featured speaker will be our new athletics coordinator, Mr. Howard Hain. Mr. Hain will discuss his holistic approach to athletics, his view of sports as a training ground where every athlete develops captainship abilities, and some of the exciting developments on the horizon. We hope to see you there!
