Oktoberfest:
Oktoberfest weekend is almost here! Hopefully, by now you have signed up
for the Ram Run (or, at least ordered the tee shirt) and are looking forward to
a day of fun with your OLPH community. If you are coming for the race, registration
starts at 7:30 A.M. Come pick up your t-shirt,
race number and goody bag in time to line up at the start. Walk-up
registrations will be available. If you are not running or walking, come and
cheer for those who are! Later in the day, you will want to stick around to see
all that the Chattanooga Market has to offer. There will be music, crafts,
fresh produce, a showcase of classic Volkswagens, and Bratwurst as only OLPH
can grill it. There will be other vendors selling Brats, so be sure to look for
the OLPH tent. For more information
about the lineup of live music and events go to http://chattanoogaoktoberfest.com/

Timeline--Miss
Danielson's Math class has put up a timeline in Holy Family Hall of the time
period that OLPH School has been in existence. Each grade was assigned a decade
from the 1930's to the 2010's to research and add events to show what students
through the years have experienced. We invite Alumni off OLPH School to pick up
a "Memory Card" near the timeline and add a memory of your school
days to the display.

Fall
Campus work day--Parents and faculty and friends of the school recently

Volleyball
news--The regular season is over!
The Junior Varsity finished the season with a record of 3 wins and 6
losses, finishing on a high note with a victory in a 3 set thriller over St.
Jude. The Varsity notched their first
victory of the season in a 3 set victory over Oakwood Christian. The Lady Rams headed into the post season with
a record of 1 win and 10 losses. The
season has been a challenge with more losses than wins but the level of
improvement in the Lady Rams was tremendous and the future of OLPH looks
bright! Thank you players for all your
hard work and commitment throughout the season--you did a great job
representing OLPH. Mary Queen of Victory, Pray for us!
