The Classical Learning Test is a college entrance exam accepted at hundreds of colleges across the United States as an alternative to the SAT® and ACT®. At OLV, we also use it as an assessment test to measure how our students are performing academically. Each year, the CLT recognizes top performers across the U.S. Distinguished Scholars are those who earn the top score at their school; Regional Scholars are those who score in the top 5% in their respective region; and National Award Recipients are the top 50 high school sophomores across the U.S. National Award Recipients are also awarded a $2,500 scholarship to use at any CLT Partner College to help cover the cost of tuition and room and board. Students are automatically considered for these awards simply by taking the exam.
OLV freshmen and sophomores will take the CLT 10 on April 15, and the juniors on April 10. The tests are given in paper format. Any student wishing to brush up on any skills to better prepare can see Dr. Wilderman or go to cltexam.com for practice exams.

This audio interview with Marcie and the author is worth listening to. There is an audio available if sitting with a book is not an option.
Please remember if you don’t finish the book still come to the meeting. There is always lots to learn and unravel.

It is a custom of the Church to do different Gregorian Chant settings of the ordinary of the Mass during different liturgical seasons. Due to this, we will be singing a different Kyrie during the season of Lent at Mass at OLV. Since the Sanctus and Agnus Dei chants we already do are customary for Lent, we will continue to do the same chants for them. A picture of the Kyrie is attached here, and you can listen to a recording of the chant at this link: https://youtu.be/0zTkMUYGxJQ
Ash Wednesday is one of the days in which we will be elevating the liturgy. We will sing the new Kyrie, but the normal Sanctus and Agnus Dei as explained above. We will be singing the Entrance, Offertory, and Communion antiphons in Latin. English translations will be available at the door.

When: Friday, March 21, 2025 (5:30 VIP cocktail hour, 6:15 student call time, 7:00 all parent admission)
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!
