O'Dea Owl Family Update Sept. 11, 2026

Dear O’Dea Owl Families,

Don’t forget to join us tonight for Family Movie Night!!!!!

We are excited to announce our OUTDOOR Movie Night on FRIDAY 9/11  (6:45 – 8:30).  This year (weather permitting), we will host the movie in the field and will start at sunset– please join us for a fun outdoor movie (popcorn and snacks available for purchase)!  Don’t forget your blankets, chairs, and water!

 

FUN RUN and Boosterthon - This is our big fundraiser for the school – the funds help modernize our classrooms and building, fund field trips, treat our amazing staff members, give teachers additional classroom resources, and much more.  Each day we make it fun with special mystery guests, prizes for all students, and special prizes for students and classrooms tied to the fundraising.  

Annual Fun Run on 9/18 – parents are invited to join!!!!  Fun Run Start Times (K-1 10:15, 2-3 9:15, & 4-5 11:15)
