A CELEBRATION HAS BEGUN….
Mrs. Carol Wiesinger has decided to write the next chapter of her story!
She has given us 43 years.
We cannot wait to see what she does in her retirement from teaching!
Details to follow on our plans to show her our appreciation and
thanksgiving to God for blessing Our Lady of Peace School with this
special educator and person.
THANK YOU 8TH GRADE FOR THE SPECIAL
ADDITION AND MEMORY OF THE
CLASS OF 2015!
The next time you are in the school building
or attending Mass, you will see the recent
installation of three stained glass windows
on the east side of the school building.
Gallery’s Choice of Downers Grove was
commissioned to design windows that
incorporated our school motto,
Family, Faith, and Future.
The windows’ vibrant colors reflect the
spirit of the Our Lady of Peace community.
These windows were made possible by the
generous monies collected during the
Halloween Raffle, Sloppy Joe Raffle and
Sloppy Joe Day.
The Class of 2015 is thankful that you made
this class gift possible.
Hope you can attend this year’s Spring Concert “TIME WITH DISNEY”.
