Dear Parents:
Thank you for a wonderful year at Our Lady of the Assumption School. I would
like to thank our terrific staff for all their hard work and I would like to thank all
of the parents for advocating, supporting, and encouraging your children.

Together we are making our school a very special place.  2015-16 promises to be an exciting year. We have many exciting ideas and we are welcoming new staff into our OLA family.

On behalf of Our Lady of the Assumption I wish everyone an enjoyable, restful
and safe summer vacation. We will miss our grade 6 students who are moving
on and we look forward to seeing everyone else on September 1.

End of School Year Prayer

Lord, thank you for the past year. For the things we have learned, for the
fun we have had, for the skills and knowledge we have gained, for the help
we gave and received, and for the friends we have made.

We pray for those leaving our school. We wish them all the best; for their
new schools, new friends, and new activities; and for their well-being.
We pray for everyone here. That we have a happy summer holiday, for
safety for those who travel, for families and friends, for help and guidance,
and for continuing growth in faith and hope and love.

Hear us, heavenly Father, as we offer our prayers to you – the prayers we
have said, and the silent prayers of our hearts – through your Son, our
Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
