In an effort to support public health efforts regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School will be closed from March 16 through April 24, 2020 [UPDATED]. Following Archdiocesan guidance, “This closure includes any planned school events such as fundraisers, community events, and field trips. During this time, school buildings will not be open to children, parents, or community members.” Our school will be switching to OLL Home Learning during this time, with teachers communicating specific expectations of age-appropriate daily work directly to students and parents.

Eighth grader Daniel Zipperer spent a week working as a page in the Washington State Senate to learn about our government. Sen. Rebecca Saldaña (D-Seattle) sponsored Zipperer’s week in the Legislature. Reflecting on his experience, Daniel says, "I was really surprised how many bills are passed with bipartisan support."

This article spotlights the long history of the Fulcrum Foundation's support for the future of our school through its School Partnership Grant program.

Thank you, Fulcrum - we appreciate your support for Catholic education!

At OLL, one of our core values is COMMUNITY. Led by teacher Ms. Jensen, our second graders put this into action with their partnership with our friends at Merrill Gardens. Our students appreciate each chance to visit with these special people throughout the year!
