Currently The Celtic Shop is open every Wednesday during lunch hours. Next year we would like to also have the shop open every Tuesday morning before school begins. In addition, we sell at all home football games and other major events.

Thank you for making The Celtic Shop a success during the 2008/2009 school year. It is terrific to see all of the green and gold and such tremendous Celtic pride at O’Hara, at sporting events outside the school and in the community. Be sure to visit the shop again in August as we return with all new merchandise and designs!! Sara Hogan ~ Celtic Shop Coordinator

Annual Summer Clean-Up Day - Saturday August 8
Save the date now and plan to join us with our summer clean-up day. We will meet on Saturday August 8. This is a great way to meet other O'Hara parents. Students are welcome to help out and earn service hours at the same time. We have many jobs that need our attention this year. Some of the items that we will be working on include cleaning the bleachers in the football stadium, painting the garage near the brothers' residence, cleaning the bleachers in the gym, weed eating the fence line and cleaning up the tree area near Whitney Field. This is only a partial list so watch for more details to come. You can volunteer to help out with this project by contacting Dorothy Bragg at dbragg@kc.rr.com or Anne Barry at anne.barry@sbcglobal.net
