• And the End-of-the-Year Picnic??? Don't get me started... Enough food and water ballons for an army.
• Field Trips - Every year, each class attends age-appropriate field trips.  These may include a California Mission (typically San Juan Capistrano), historical sites or historical re-enactments, plays are Riverside Community College, The Museum of Tolerance, etc.
• Student Council - Formation of Leaders starts early at OLPH.  Our Student Council hosts all of the morning assemblies, leading the students in PRAYER, BIBLICAL READINGS, PLEDGE OF ALLEGIENCE, NATIONAL ANTHEM, and school announcements. 
• Student Store, Nacho Sales - Classroom reps work with the adults to sell items during recess.
• Weekly donut sale.  As a treat, each class donates donuts about twice a year to sell at recess every Wednesday except during Lent and Advent. 
• Students collect cans for the needy families, pull tabs to raise money for the families of cancer patients at Ronald McDonald House, and gifts for needy families they adopt at Christmas, as well as participating in activities for Catholic charitable groups like the Holy Child Association. 
• OLPH has been adopted by the Elks Club (on Brockton Ave, Riverside) this year.  The Elks Club provides scholarships for students all over the U.S., and is partnering with OLPH when they present programs, fund-raisers, etc.
