Weekly Family Owl Update February 7

O'Dea Owl Families, 

We had another great week at O'Dea!  Special thanks to everyone who came to Snack Attack today or is planning to this evening!  Believe it or not, we are starting to prepare for the 2025-26 school year!  As we plan for next year, we would like to include parent input and voice to help us make O’Dea an even better school!  In the next two months, we will receive our school budget from the Poudre School District and work to create a staffing plan, building budget, and schedules to guide us next year.  We also develop and refine long-term focus areas based on staff/student/parent input.   This is a great time to provide input and voice into the 2025-26 school year planning.  This data will be shared with O'Dea's Leadership Team and School Accountability Team.

We are looking into hosting our children’s triathlon again.  We will need help recruiting volunteers and sponsors, designing a website, promoting the event (digital, print, etc.), providing breakfast and prizes for participants, etc.  If you’re interested in helping make this event happen, please contact Mr. Joyal.   

Don’t forget Spring Book Fair (2/24-2/28) is arriving soon!  We will have a Family Book Fair Breakfast on 2/25 8-9 am – Please join us to grab a quick donut and a book as a family!  Also, we will have NEW extended hours on Thursday 8:20-9:00 and 4:00-6:00 pm.   

Have a wonderful weekend,

Alex
