Home and
School Connections
As you recall, we experienced our first snow day of the season on Monday, November 21, which would have been a conference day for elementary school teachers and parents. Luckily, with some flexibility and a lot of cooperation between home and school, we were able to reschedule most conferences. If you need any further information about your child’s day to day school progress, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time. Thank you for your continued support from home.

Jump,
Jump… Jump Around!
Last Wednesday we were wowed by our fifth grade Jump Rope Club. Fifth graders who chose to participate attended early morning practices for eight weeks. They mastered many skills and tricks, and the audience was amazed at their talents. Thank you, parents, for providing morning transportation for your children to be able to attend practices, and thank you, students, for your hard work!

Literacy
Coalition of Onondaga County
Do you know of a child between the ages of newborn and five years old that would love the gifts of books and reading? Well, we’re in luck. The Literacy Coalition of Onondaga County, in conjunction with a program called Imagination Library, has free books for our little ones. Imagination Library is a free, early literacy program that delivers to children age birth to five a new, age-appropriate book in the mail each month. This promotes love of reading and learning. To find out more information on how you can access free books for young children, just click one of these links:

A Time for Giving
I am always amazed at how generously our community comes together to help one another at this time of year. Our students are involved in several community service donation drives, and your generosity does not go unnoticed. Thank you to all who have donated gifts and food to help make someone else’s holidays a little brighter. Every bit helps, and Onondaga Road families and staff have, once again, gone above and beyond to embrace our local community.
