O'Dea Owl Families!

We had a great week—the 5th Graders had a wonderful time at Eco Week and made lifelong memories! Special thanks to the PTA for your support in making this magical experience available to all kids! We kick off Boosterthon next week—please help the PTA reach its goal of raising $50,000 for O’Dea!

Have an excellent three-day weekend!

Bikes on campus—We love bike riders! Please make sure to dismount once you arrive on campus. For everyone's safety, please walk bikes on all O'Dea sidewalks. 

When picking up or dropping off students, please turn off your engine. Idling creates extra unhealthy air. 

Have a great weekend!
