122116 olaCHARLOTTE — Members of Our Lady of the Assumption School’s student council recently led a drive to restock the Our Lady of the Assumption Church pantry.

Pictured are students helping to transfer items from the second round of donations. Students did a fantastic job throughout the months of November and December with this noble effort.

The OLA Band and Drama Club hosted “Breakfast with St. Nick” Dec. 10 for the local community. Attendees were treated to breakfast, games and entertainment, including band and guitar performances by OLA students, as well as a dramatic presentation of the story of St. Nicholas of Myra. Students also had photos taken with the beloved saint. (Pictured is Tyler Stasko in costume.)

The OLA Band also recently played for the Willow Grove Retirement Community. The performance aimed to bring Christmas cheer and the message of peace and goodwill to all, especially to our cherished elders.
