Dunk Tank Reschedule and Weekly Family Update October 11

O'Dea Owl Families!

Unfortunately, we had to reschedule the dunk tank today:(.  We are working to have it rescheduled for either 10/21 or 23!

We had a wonderful week of fall weather! Thanks again for all your support in making O’Dea a magical place for kids and staff!  We look forward to seeing everyone next week for conferences and Book Fair!   I will be on a mountain vacation Saturday to Wednesday and will have a substitute principal Tommi Sue Cox.  Mrs. Cox is a retired principal from Laurel and is lovely – if you see her at a crosswalk or pick-up, please say hello!  If you need any support, please reach out to Mr. Joyal!

We are looking for parent help with a couple of upcoming events!

We have our Book Fair 10/14 to 10/17 and always love parent help!
