The Early Years
|
| |
| Our Lady of the Lake School, the first parochial school in the Lake Minnetonka area, opened Sept 2, 1951, with 210 students in eight classrooms on a single floor. The students were taught by the Presentation Sisters of South Dakota, the order of nuns that had taught Religious Education in the parish for the previous ten years. |
| |
| By 1954, enrollment in the school had risen to 375 students. Growth continued steadily and in 1960, a second floor was added with eight more classrooms and a library. OLL School opened in that fall with an enrollment of 478 students in 16 classrooms! |
| |
| In 1984, four mothers were interested in starting a kindergarten program. They presented their idea to the principal. He agreed and the first kindergarten was opened with more than 20 students! |
| |
| In May of 1986, the Presentation Order left OLL School. |
