Vanessa Aponte, is the 2019 Nevada State champion of Poetry Out Loud. The 14th annual statewide competition for high school students started in the fall with more than 3,500 participants and narrowed to nine regional finalists for the championships. The state championships consisted of three rounds with each poet reciting two poems and then the top three reciting a third poem for the final round. Aponte’s three poems were “The Enigma” by Anne Stevenson, “The Lost Land” by Eavan Boland and “Often rebuked, yet always back returning,” by Emile Bronte. Aponte, an honors student who plans to attend UNLV and major in psychology and criminal justice before going on to law school, said winning the statewide competition was a dream. Congratulations Vanessa!

The school year is winding down very quickly, and elections for the PTO Executive Committee are here. The PTO, Parent-Teacher Organization, consists of all OLLV parents and guardians. For anyone who is not aware, the PTO has an Executive Committee that spearheads and oversees fundraising activities. There are monthly meetings that are essential for all committee members to attend. If you are interested in being on the Executive Committee for the PTO for next school year of 2019-2020, please either send your name and a short biography through email or deliver it to the school office no later than May 1, 2019. All names will go to Fr. Gerry and Mrs. Joyce for approval. Once approved, the nominations will be placed on a ballot for the entire PTO to vote. Thank you for your support, Mrs. Joyce
