Remember
that Tuesday, November 8, is a half day of school. Students are dismissed at 11:30.
Friday,
November 11 is Veterans’ Day. Please
thank and acknowledge those who have served proudly to protect our nation. There is no school on Friday in honor of
Veterans’ Day.
Last week
was a busy one at Onondaga Road. We
started the week with our ghosts and goblins celebrating Halloween. Thank you all for helping to make our parade
and celebration safe and fun for our children.
We also had
the grand opening of our new Onondaga Road School cafeteria last week! The construction project was worth the
wait! With much planning involved,
students practiced safety rules and procedures and learned how to operate in the
cafeteria. We did practice runs with all
grade levels on Tuesday, giving everyone a chance to learn how to enter the
cafeteria, wait in line politely, find their seats, eat and clean up, and exit
the cafeteria. On Wednesday all of our
fifth graders were the first students to actually eat lunch in the
cafeteria. They were most appreciative,
and they were positive role models for other students. On Thursday, we had breakfast in the
cafeteria, and then we hosted Kindergarten, grade 4 and grade 5 for lunch. Then finally, on Friday, all grade levels
K-5, 358 students total, ate their lunch in the cafeteria! As I said, the construction project was
certainly worth the wait! Ask your child
to explain to you what it means to be cafeteria STARS.
Now that our
school renovation project is coming to completion, we have cordially invited
our retired Onondaga Road staff to come back and see our new learning
space. We look forward to hosting our
retirees and Board of Education members the morning of November 21 and sharing
our new surroundings.
