O'Dea Owl Families,
We had a fun week with Boosterthon Prizes (Dunk Tank, Mr. Joyal on the Roof, and Teachers for the Day). Thanks again for all your support of O’Dea. We had a great Movie Night, and special thanks to all who attended!
I’m looking forward to Halloween next week! Hands down one of the best weeks to work at an elementary school: candy, costumes, music, and parades!

It's Not Too Late to Sign-Up for Odyssey of the Mind! We are still looking for a few more students to fill K-2nd and 3-5th Odyssey of the Mind Teams. If your child loves to participate in creative problem-solving challenges, OM might be a perfect fit! We are also looking for adults to help coach/co-coach teams once a week after school starting in late November. Please reach out to Jennifer Metcalf, Art Teacher and OM Coordinator, to express interest or for more information at jmetcalf@psdschools.org.
