OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP SCHOOL
Our Lady of Perpetual Help School participates in the educational
ministry, which Jesus entrusted to His Church. It supports the family in
the task of nurturing Christian growth by challenging its children to
live the gospel values while at the same time providing a quality
academic program. The school further helps its students to develop their
unique personalities in an atmosphere permeated with a Christian presence
so they might live out the call of Christ. We provide models as well as
opportunities to interact with children of all races, religions, and
cultures. From Kindergarten through 8th grade, students and staff work
together to bring about growth and development. Registration is held the
first Sunday in March, and at other times by appointment. OLPH has a
school enrollment of 340 (K-8).
PRESCHOOL
OLPH offers pre-school education to 3, 4 and 5 year olds. Preschool
education is committed to assisting parents in developing emotional,
intellectual, physical, social and spiritual growth. This is accomplished
through the use of play within an environment, which stimulates interest,
confidence and a sense of wonder about themselves and the world around
them. The preschool follows the National Association for Education of
Young Children standards. Classes meet Monday, Wednesday and Friday
mornings and Tuesday and Thursday
mornings. The program runs from September through May and has an
enrollment of 41 students in four classes.
PARENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
Membership in the OLPH Parent School Association is open to mothers,
fathers, grandparents and legal guardians of all OLPH students, from
preschool through the eighth grade. The association is governed by a steering
committee, which fosters unity among Our Lady of Perpetual Help families
through a variety of activities. The Parent School Association also
assists the principal and teachers with special projects to enhance each
student's learning experience.
SCHOOL ADVISORY COUNCIL
The School Advisory Council is a body of nine (9) members who act as an
advisory council to the school principal and pastor. They represent the
people of the parish and the school in evaluating school policies,
programs, practices and finances, and recommending courses of action to
provide quality education while best utilizing all of our resources.
Market Day
Hate to shop at those huge supermarkets? How would you like to order food
online, pick it up in our School Cafeteria and know that it is 100%
guaranteed? If so, give our Market Day program a try! Order brochures are
in the narthex of the Church and on the bulletin board across from the
school office, or call the Parish Office and have one mailed to you or go
online at www.marketday.com where you can check out the specials of the
month.
T.R.I.P. (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program)
means
FREE MONEY!
With the rising cost of everything, wouldn't you like to have a way to
reduce your tuition costs or help the O.L.P.H. Endowment Fund? Especially
when it wouldn't mean any additional monies from you!!
WHAT IS TRIP?
The TRIP program is the purchasing of gift certificates and/or debit
cards from OLPH to use "same as cash" at over 200 local and
national vendors.
OLPH will purchase these at a discount from Great Lakes Scrip Company in
Michigan and Northwest Ohio Scrip Association. GLSC and NOSA purchase
certificates in bulk quantities; you then order and pay face value for
your certificates through TRIP, which will be available weekly.
The OLPH Endowment Fund will receive the first 1% of all savings
(difference between face value and discounted purchase price) for
operating costs and to build the endowment.
The rest of the savings are then held in your OLPH TRIP account to be
applied toward your designated fund. Your designated fund is chosen when
you register for the program from the following list:
1) Your own tuition account 2) Another family's tuition 3) OLPH Endowment
Fund
EXAMPLE
Your family purchases $100 in gift certificates from Max & Erma's
Restaurant. Currently the percentage of discount is 18%. Therefore, you
will have $100 in purchasing power from Max & Erma's, $1.00 is
applied to the Endowment Fund and $17.00 is applied to your account as
indicated on your registration form.
Percentage discounts range from 2% to 25% depending on the store. (The
gift certificates are in appearance the exact certificates issued from
each participating store and subject to each store's conditions. See
Retailer's Policies for restrictions.)
In April of each year you will receive a statement indicating the dollars
in your account. This amount will be deducted from your family's tuition
owed (or another family, which you have indicated) for the next school
year.
IT'S EASY!! IT'S SIMPLE!! And if you need any further information,
contact the Parish Office at 382-5511.
