Our Lady of Fatima History
Summary of the History of OLF School
Thursday, 11 August 2005
Our lady of Fatima is a Catholic elementary school. Our lady of Fatima opened on September 11, 1961 with an enrollment of 250 students. Sisters of the Presentation Order from Youghal Community, County Cork, Ireland staffed the school along with several lay teachers, educating children in grades Kindergarten through sixth grade. For forty years the school was administered by religious, but is now staffed by Catholic or Christian lay people.
Our Lady of Fatima has undergone many physical and internal changes in its forty years of operation. Pre-kindergarten classes, physical education program, computer lab, additional north classroom building and playground equipment are among these positive changes. Students are involved in a solid Catholic and academic educational system but benefit from an extracurricular repertoire second to none. The students have numerous opportunities to participate in such activities as DARE program, poetry contests, city-wide art and writing contest, band, accelerated reading (AR), science fairs, book fairs, church choir, project read, field trips, speakers and guests from the community, St. Vincent de Paul food pantry projects, and the Saltillo missions. Students attend weekly mass where they serve as cantors and sing in the choir.
