Our Lady of Tepeyac is hosting the annual Thanksgiving Feast. All the students and staff of OLT get together in the grade school cafeteria and celebrate with a feast contributed by all the students. The seniors and staff bring either turkey or ham, the juniors bring the mashed potatoes, corn, and stuffing. The sophomores bring bread rolls or desserts, and as tradition the freshies bring only 5 dollars, so the teachers can go out and buy napkins, plates, forks, etc. As a school, we all get together and enjoy not only the food, but what we are thankful for and being all together. Everybody always has a good time and goes home full.

This progress report, the Academic Assistance list was gradually smaller this time around. Their were only 8 freshies, 13 sophomores, 17 juniors. and 13 seniors.

AA goes on for 3 weeks until the next report card or progress report. All the students should take advantage of the help given to them to put up they’re grades, and get out of AA.

To Kill a Mockingbird

The play was held downtown on the north side in Steppenwolf Theater. Before the school went to go see the play, they all read the book. “I thought the play was good and thought the actors did a really good job”, Junior Allison Viteri said. All the students were not only excited to get to leave school for awhile and skip 4 periods, but they were also excited to see the book be portrayed visually. All the students laughed, “awww”ed, and argued with the actors in the play. Some students like junior Sheirra Harris said, “It was good but very long.”Ms. Ingram said, “Very well acted and held the attention of the audience.” Overall the students and staff enjoyed their time and really enjoyed the play.

To Kill A Mockingbird Play

On November 2 , 2010 all the students and teachers from OLT went on a field trip to a theater to watch a play called To Kill A Mockingbird. Every student in the building read and saw the movie TKAM. There were students that didn’t like the book but they enjoyed the movie. Everybody in the school went to see the play. Everybody went so there could be a better understanding of the movie and the book. By watching the play we knew that we would understand more of the book and the movie. When the play ended the same people that acted or that were working there asked us questions about the play and our feelings that we had about the play and some parts of the play. Many students liked the play better than the book. We all gathered and went in different buses, as soon as we arrived there were people from the theater greeting all of us in a really polite manner. This was really important for everyone in the school because by watching the play everyone got a better explanation about the book, movie and play. Everyone liked the play and we had fun!

Halloween Custom Contest

On October 27, 2010 students and teachers at OLT had a Halloween custom contest. They had to dress up in customs, they had to be creative, scary, funny and even cute.There were Mickey Mouse, Minne Mouse, Angels, and Demons. OLT Costume Contest would have you screaming and running! This was a good idea to give the students and faculty an opportunity to show their spirit for Halloween. The teachers were judging the students on the most creative, funniest, scariest and the cuteist costume. This is a tradition that happens every year and it wouldn't be OLT if we didn't have it. It lets everybody express their creativity and have fun.
