Dear Families,
We are well into the Fall season and all that it has to offer. We had a fantastic celebration of Halloween with a party sponsored by the PTA. We also had the opportunity to share about our families through participation in a school-wide altar for the Day of the Dead. Thank you to Miss Sternik, Miss O’Meara, and Mrs. Carpio for leading this and to all of the families who sent in items for the Ofrenda. What a beautiful tribute to our deceased loved ones!
We will begin sacramental preparation (for students in grades 3-8 who haven’t made their First Penance or First Holy Communion) after Thanksgiving for any students who are not up-to-date in their sacraments. Please contact the office if your child (grades 3-8) needs to make First Penance or First Holy Communion.
The coming weeks are going to be very busy. Read on for more details!

The next school year will be upon us before we know it. We are trying to streamline the process of applying for financial aid. Please bring your 2018 tax forms to the office for us to make a copy of in preparation for applying for FACTS.
Please read what is inside this folder and return the empty folder with your child tomorrow. We are doing our best to keep you apprised of all that is going on at school. Please visit our website at www.olmcapnj.org to keep track of what is happening at school, and like and follow us on Facebook @OurLadyofMountCarmelCatholicSchool, Instagram @olmcblueknights, and Twitter @OLMCblueknights. I am looking forward to seeing you at some of the coming events.
Yours in Christ,
