    Grandparents’/Grandfriends’ Day

    Grandparents’/Grandfriends’ Day is becoming a tradition at OLP. In September 2009, the first Grandparents’/Grandfriends Day was held for the entire school. Grandparents or a grandfriend spend part of the day with OLP students. All grandparents/grandfriends celebrate Mass with the school community. One set of grandparents had this to say about the 2010 event, “Just had to tell you how much we enjoyed "Grandparents Day". The program was very relaxing and being able to let the grandchildren show us their classrooms and the work they are doing was a real treat. Many thanks! “. It is truly a special day enjoyed by all.
