October News and Boos!
We’re getting there… Take a look at the progress of our new
cafeteria! Before long we will be dining
here for breakfast and lunch. You can
see that the room is painted and the contractors are in the process of laying
floor tiles. Our new furniture is in the
storage trailer waiting to be put in place soon.
Wednesday, October 19 is Unity
Day. Please wear orange to show that you stand up against bullying! We will have special guest readers from the
West Genesee High School R2D2 Club visiting OR to read to our students, and we
will have our monthly R2D2 assembly on Unity Day.
Our annual Scholastic Book Fair, sponsored by OR PTA, will
be held October 24, 25 and 26 during the school day. Students will visit the book fair during
their library classes (Thursday library classes will visit on Monday that
week), and students are also welcome to return to the book fair Wednesday
evening, October 26 during Reading Night.
Watch for details to come home on flyers with the children.
Halloween is spooking around the corner! The Halloween parade will be held at 2:00 on
Monday, Halloween Day, October 31.
Please remember that scary, violent costumes are not appropriate and not
permitted for school, and weapons are NOT permitted in school as Halloween
props. Let’s keep the day enjoyable and
SAFE for everyone. A detailed letter
about Halloween will be sent home with all students.
