Assignments are given to help curb the "Summer Slide."  Students entering grades 2 through 8 have assignments in Reading and Math.  Children in Middle School have a Science assignment as well.  All are due the first day of school.  Of course, children of all ages should read or be read to every day.  It's the best exercise for the mind!  Click on this link for the assignment page.  Click on this link to go to the Assignment Page.  

The STB/OLH School supply pre-purchase program is back!  Now more than ever where we are avoiding trips to the store, order your child's school supplies for next year and avoid it completely.   Please place your orders by June 30. 
 
 We have listened to prior year feedback and are pleased to offer two kit options this year for every grade.  The basic kit in general covers all of the core supplies that are generally not reusable each year.  The deluxe kit includes everything requested (*except calculators and headphones which are optional add-ons), including all of the household items.  While things like Purell and Clorox wipes have been difficult to find over the last few months, parents can rest assured that all of the items on our lists are already in-stock and ready to be shipped.  
 
While the kits may seem pricey, we heard from many parents last year that didn't order that they wished that they had as they spent much more and needed to visit multiple stores to find all of their supplies.  The quality of the products and ease of ordering has led to a very high level of satisfaction from participating families. 
 
School supplies will be available for pick up at school  by appointment in August to ensure required social distancing.  Once we have a delivery date, we will start making appointments for pick-ups.
 
If you have any questions, please email pa@stbolh.org.

On behalf of the faithful of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, I express my heartfelt prayers and condolences to the Floyd family.  We pray for peace on the streets of our cities.  We pray that peace, charity and justice may animate non-violent protests.  We pray for our public servants, our police, our first responders and their families.  We pray for the witness of our Church and the ecumenical and interfaith witness we have with our brothers and sisters of different faiths.
