O'Dea Owl Families, 

We had a great week at O’Dea.  Special thanks to PTA and Parents for Thursday's WONDERFUL Treat the Teachers.  Thanks for always making the O’Dea staff feel appreciated 😊.   

We are looking for family help in a couple of different ways. Want to help? See below! 

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.  Giving Tree Amazon wish list:   https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1DC0BOMXEBBAZ?ref_=wl_share

Have a wonderful weekend!

Important Announcements and Updates 

Pick up and Drop off—Our neighbors have contacted us about speeding during pick up and drop off. Please remember to drive slowly and within speed limit, as many students walk to school.  

Arrival - Reminder that we do not have morning recess before school.  When students arrive, we ask that they line up outside the classroom door.  This gives teachers valuable prep. time in the morning to prepare the best instruction for your students!
