OH families:
We are quickly approaching winter break. Classes will be in session Tuesday & Wednesday this week. No school Thursday, Friday, and all next week. Classes resume Wednesday, January 4th.
This Wednesday we have our monthly popcorn day. Students can get this special treat for just 50 cents a bag.
Tomorrow and Wednesday are expected to be a lot colder so we will probably be inside for recesses. Make sure students are dressing appropriately for coming & leaving school as they may be outside waiting for the buses or car ride. We are asking students to take home all the snow gear to have for winter break.
Hope all of you have a relaxing and enjoyable winter break! See you in 2023!
Thanks,
Sheila Taylor, OH principal
Thank you City State Bank for the amazing sugar cookies!
Two of my favorite people!
Sweet in many ways!

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and break! I just wanted to take some time to send a few reminders as we approach the end of the “warm” season. Please make sure you are sending your students t...The PTO apparel shop is ready to go! The shop will be open until 12/4 and items will be ready by 12/20. We are offering shipping and local pick up at Bowen Design. All local pick up orders will need to be collected 30 days after completion. Happy shopping and thank you for your support!!

With everything going on we forgot to send out information about our first popcorn day tomorrow. 50 cents a bag. Money supports our Leader in Me projects. Each month we will have a popcorn Wednesday.
That will be sad for the kids that don’t have 50 cents. Some of the parents don’t have time to read Facebook.
First snow reminder: students with snow pants & boots will be able to play in the snow during recesses. Those who do not will stay on the sidewalks and blacktop so they don't get wet & cold.
