Welcome to the 6th Grade!  This is an exciting year for students who are entering the first year of Middle School at OLMC.  For the first time, students will get to go to multiple classrooms with different teachers throughout the day.  Middle School also brings many new opportunities for students to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities.  For instance, in addition to our athletic opportunities, students can participate in Scholar Bowl, Student Council and Yearbook Committee.
