Our students had an awesome day on the mountain. Many learned to ski and snowboard while the more experienced got in a lot of great runs, while helping and encouraging the newbies. A great day was had by all. ⛷🏂

Thank you to Nordic Valley and to Ms. Allen, Mrs. Braukmann, Mr. Pack and Mr. Stokes who accompanied our students!

This month's Casual for a Cause for Catholic Community Services is going to support the preparation of pantry packs for school age children, a "cause" near and dear to the Jaramillo Family from our community. In a non pandemic year, Addison's mom, Bobbi, would love to have Saint Olaf students help shop for meals and snacks and then pack the pantry bags. These bags go home on Friday with students who otherwise might not have access to adequate food over the weekend. Our thanks to Bobbi and Addison for mentioning this very important service. We look forward to helping beyond donations next year!

Taken from the CCS FB page:
CCS' Basic Needs Ogden facility provides Pantry Packs to children facing hunger in local schools.

We currently only have enough Packs to last through the end of February and are in need of donations.

Our first recipients of our Saint Michael, the Archangel Awards were announced yesterday. We couldn't be more proud of these 4 deserving individuals. Click the title to read more about each of these deserving individuals.

Each year during the month of January, our Casual for a Cause is dedicated to an 8th grader who is continuing their education into a Catholic High School. We raise funds and support that student as they move forward. This year, an anonymous donor has decided to match our donation for the next 3 years, so that our student will receive this amount each year that they are in Catholic High School. That means our community has contributed $2400 to the continual education of this year's recipient, 𝗖𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗔 𝗧𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗥!
Congratulations, Cece! We are very proud of you and know that you will continue to make us proud as a Judge Memorial Catholic High School Bulldog!

Outstanding job to Mr. Stokes and all of our students who worked so hard on their projects! We are proud of you ALL.

A special Thank You sent to us after a high school Senior volunteered with our students and faculty this January. In these moments, may we never forget that our ordinary is extraordinary. Thank you for your service Juan Diego Seniors!

"If this declares the end of my time at St. Olaf's, I do want to say thank you. Your school has reminded me that every person has inherent worth and that every person deserves to be heard. I feel like these kids not only saw me, but they saw each other. I love the community at your school, and it's amazing how much you all care about each other. Your school made me excited to wake up in the morning, and I came home from every day feeling honestly very fulfilled. Thank you for making a place for me and for making me feel like I belong. Your school did such an amazing job of helping me learn how to work with kids, and I really appreciate how involved you let me be. Thank you for all that you've done, I'm sorry that I didn't get to say goodbye in person.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to come back soon. Your school and your community have a very special place in my heart. Thank you for all that you've done for me, and thank you for making my senior service project so amazing."
