When: Friday, March 21, 2025 (5:30 VIP cocktail hour, 6:15 student call time, 7:00 all parent admission)
What: An evening designed to showcase our students’ performing and visual arts, and dancing talent. All students are required to be in attendance the evening of Friday, March 21. Call Time is 6:15 pm. Parents are encouraged to attend and invite others to learn about and support our mission.
There will be chorale performances you won’t want to miss, dancing demonstrations followed by a dance-along, and the usual crowd-pleaser, the Art Show.
Is this a Fundraiser or a Friendraiser? It’s BOTH! As in past years, all parents will want to come to view their children’s talent. They can also use this opportunity to grow our community, widely inviting friends, future OLV parents, and extended family to come experience the beauty of Chesterton exemplified by our Fine Arts programming, while benefitting OLV’s future.
VIP Cocktail Hour Tickets: The evening will start at 5:30 p.m. with VIP access for ticket-holders to a cocktail and hors d’oeuvres hour with our Art Teacher Ms. Dam and the Executive Director, along with exclusive, uncrowded, sneak peeks at the student art show with the opportunity to select art pieces which, for a donation to OLV, will be professionally digitized and elegantly framed for your home or office, and delivered to your student a few weeks after the evening. NOTE: All student art will stay with the school that evening and will be sent home once it is digitized. Finally, ticket holders get priority seating during the chorale performance. Like last year, we will offer a 6-pack ticket package (for adults only) at a reduced price, to encourage you to bring friends along for a fun evening out!

Official Spring sport registration is now open and will close on February 24th.

Unfortunately, we were unable to find a track and field head coach for this season. Thank you to those who have filled out our interest forms.
