Family Weekly Owl Update November 1

O'Dea Owl Families,

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! We loved seeing everyone at the Halloween Parade, and it was a tremendous whole-school celebration! Don't forget we have O'Dea Candy Buy-Back over the next week; students can exchange 25 pieces of candy for an owl slip. Buyback is a great way to repurpose extra Halloween candy!!!!

Have a great weekend!

Alex
