OR Updates

Any way you spell it, these kids are winners!

CONGRATULATIONS to our five students who will be representing Onondaga Road at the West Genesee Spelling Bee:  fourth graders, Grace Banish and Ethan Gage, and fifth graders Mya Gaffney, Jonathan Gage, and Emma Krigbaum. 

These fourth and fifth grade students took a written spelling test of 50 words and earned the top scores in our school.  They will go on to the oral Spelling Bee at Camillus Middle School on November 8th and participate with other fourth through eighth grade students from across the district.  We certainly wish them well, and they have already made us proud!

Reading Night Extravaganza!

Everyone is welcome to join our PTA sponsored Reading Night on Thursday, October 26, 6:00-7:30.  All students will start in the gym at 6:00 with a magician; come discover the magic of reading and stories!  After the magic, explore story-crafts in the art room, games in the cafeteria, and the Scholastic Book Fair in the library.  Please remember all students must be accompanied by an adult to participate and make the evening magical.

Halloween is Lurking!


Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year for children!  Let's make this Halloween celebration fun, safe, and memorable for all.  Our school parade will be held on Halloween Day, Tuesday, October 31, at 2:00.  Parents and guests are welcome to come see the parade!  All guests should remain outdoors and watch from the bus loop as the children parade across the front sidewalk and around the building (the entry roads will be blocked from traffic).  Please remember that our parade and parties include all of the children, and since our little ones can sometimes be frightened, scary and horror-related costumes are not for school.  Watch for the flyer coming home with your child, then follow the guidelines for a safe and fun school celebration.

Say Cheese!

School picture re-take day is on Wednesday, November 1.  If your child was absent from school on picture day in September, they will be photographed on picture re-take day.

Have a great week!
