OLC SPOTLIGHT
We capture moments of our "Faith Buddies" as part of the Caring School Community program. This program is implemented to address social-emotional learning. Our faith buddy system helps our younger students form genuine bonds and cultivate proper social skills. It also fosters confidence in our older grades, allowing them to pave the way as positive role models, leaders, and saints.
