Thank you to NPN for organizing Sunday's Preschool and Elementary School Fair! We had a wonderful time chatting with families interested in choosing OLMCA for their children! 🎓❤️🙏

#OnThisDay in 1846, the Sisters of Mercy began their work in education, charities, and healthcare in Chicago. OLMCA was founded in 1888 by the Sisters of Mercy who continued to serve the children of Mount Carmel through 1987.

#OnThisDay in 2013, OLMCA was named a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education for the first time! OLMCA applied again in 2019 and received the Blue Ribbon for a second time making OLMCA one of only 4 elementary schools in Chicago to ever receive it twice!

Happening in Preschool: "After reading the book, 'I Like Myself,' we had a discussion about things that are special about each of us, what makes us proud or happy to be ourselves!"

On this World Teachers' Day, we thank the teachers of OLMCA who go above and beyond each day for their students, both in the classroom and online. Their dedication to the success of each child makes OLMCA the amazing school it is today! Show your appreciation in the comments!

Since we couldn't bring the students to the pumpkin patch, we decided to bring the pumpkin patch to them! Last Thursday, students roamed the church lawn in search of the perfect pumpkin and then took a scenic horse-drawn wagon ride in the east lot. We had a blast! 🍁🎃🍂🐴

Happy Halloween, OLMCA Family! Be sure to check out all the photos from yesterday's Halloween Carnival and pumpkin decorating contest on our Flickr page (Flickr.com/olmca) Have a fun and safe night, everyone! 🎃 👻 🍭

Sending lots of love to the OLMCA family on this Valentine's Day! 💘 (Pictured: Student Council organizes a Flower-Gram activity for the teachers. Students celebrate Valentine's Day with art and festive attire.)
