Well, March certainly roared in like a lion, didn’t it? Don’t forget that this Sunday we spring our
clocks ahead one hour. Let’s hope Mother Nature becomes more cooperative!

One February snow day, while our little friends were off from school, snuggled safely at home, I stood in my office window at Onondaga Road staring in awe at the snow falling outside. The traffic appeared to be moving in slow motion, silence was all around, and everything outdoors looked black and white. To my amazement, a big, windy gust kicked up and Old Glory flew proudly behind the tree outside my window. There in the midst of all that black and white flew the good old Red, White and Blue, proud as could be! Full of pride, I got my camera as quickly as I could because I wanted to capture this awesome picture and share it with all of you!
Annual PTA Enrichment Day is a Success: A big thank you is extended to our PTA and all of our
parents and friends who helped to make our annual Enrichment Day a huge
success. Students participated in a wide
array of activities: cheerleading, karate, jewelry making, finger knitting,
coin collecting, sports card trading, caricature drawing, Irish Dancing, wood
working, visits from the MOST, Zoo to You, Wonder Works, and on and on! A great time was had by all!
