O'Dea Owl Families, 

We had a great Awards Assembly on Friday, during which we celebrated students for displaying Respect, Responsibility, and Gratitude. Special thanks to all the families who joined us in celebrating your students. The Student Council did an amazing job leading the assembly, and we are proud of their leadership at O’Dea. If your student was not celebrated, just wait! We will have two more assemblies where we will catch your student leading at O'Dea!

Parents - we are looking for some family help in two different ways after the break!

1. This year marks the fifth annual Giving Tree program for O'Dea. The Giving Tree program assists families in need during this holiday season. Here at O'Dea we are a family that is always there for one another. The Giving Tree is the perfect opportunity to show our support during this giving season. Please consider donating. Please be aware that all donations need to be delivered during weekdays. The last day for donations will be December 16th.  If you donate over the holiday, please make sure to get deliveries to your home!  Giving Tree Amazon wish list:  https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1DC0BOMXEBBAZ?ref_=wl_share
