As their Reconciliation is quickly approaching in March, much has been done to focus on this special Sacrament during which God s forgiveness and mercy is shared and celebrated. Recently, the students created their own rosaries with the help of their teachers and parent volunteers. The children have learned that praying a rosary is very special and can help them grow in their faith as they prepare for the upcoming sacraments. Court of Dreams Last week, the OLL s Varsity Boys and Girls Basketball teams faced off vs. the Immaculate Conception Celtics in an exhibition game during Court of Dreams. Court of Dreams is an annual event during which the school s teams play on the home court of the Miami Heat at the American Airlines Arena. Each school s cheerleading and dance teams have an opportunity to perform. Furthermore, many students, parents, and teachers attend the game in order to show their support for the participating students. This year, both our Girls and Boys Basketball Teams defeated the Celtics! All of the students, whether they are participants or spectators, always enjoy this event. It is a wonderful community event and an unforgettable opportunity for the athletes, cheerleaders, and dancers to live out a dream by showcasing their talents on a professional court.
