Season's Greetings from Onondaga Road!

 Happy Holidays!

Yesterday, we were treated to our daytime 4th /5th grade concert.  This group is full of musical talent.  I hope you will be able to make it to their evening performance, this Thursday, December 8th at 7:00 in the WGHS Auditorium.  Their performance is certain to put you in the holiday mood! 






This month is turning out to be quite a month of “caring and compassion” at Onondaga Road.
 In addition, our staff is sponsoring a family in need to provide them with holiday gifts and food.
  • The PTA is coordinating our school-wide efforts to collect coats for the Cathedral’s Coat Drive and gather food and items for the Ronald McDonald House. 
  • Our fifth graders will be making fleece blankets to distribute to children at Golisano’s Children’s Hospital. 
  • Our second graders are creating various pieces of art to donate to a program entitled, “Artwork for Wounded Warriors”.  The art will be distributed to hospitalized soldiers this holiday season.
We owe thanks to Coach John Desko, who recently read a book to all our students on the topic of "Thankfulness".  He is our second “VIP Reader” this year (Dr. Brown was our first reader in October).  We are indeed grateful to these adult role models who take time out of their busy days to inspire our students.
  
Finally, stay tuned for our next newsletter where you will hear about some wonderful achievements by many of our students.

Wishing you all the best this holiday season!
