Weekly Family Owl Update September 13

O'Dea Owl Families!

It's been a great week at O’Dea! Next week, our 5th Graders head out for Eco Week, an overnight adventure! This is a fantastic experience that students will remember for the rest of their lives and makes 5th Grade truly special. We had a great first PTA meeting, and special thanks to the new President, Jose Murillo! Thanks for your leadership! 

Smok Barbeque was a great event – thanks to all the families that joined us!  We are excited to have a couple of family engagement events coming soon: 9/16 School Accountability Meeting, and 9/27 CSU Canvas Stadium Community Classic (see below for more information).
