We had a wonderful week at O’Dea - special thanks to all the parents who joined the in-person PTA and School Accountability Meeting on Tuesday night!  We have switched back to in-person PTA meetings, and all are welcome to join!  PTA wants to focus on increasing family engagement in the upcoming year, and we would love to have your voice and input.  Our next meeting will be on 2/10, and we would love to see new parents who want to jump in and support O’Dea (see additional PTA news in the PTA Newsletter)!  

Remember no school Monday - MLK Jr. Day 🙂

Dinner Night Out - Please join O’Dea Families for a Dinner Night Out January 21st at Chipolte (College/Drake) from 4-8pm. 25% of sales go back to the O’Dea PTA!!

We will have O'Dea Artwork on display at the Creative Endeavors PSD Art Show through 1/26!  In the O’Dea Art room, each student in Kindergarten through 5th Grade created their own puzzle piece design reflecting their own personal interests and style. These pieces are hung together as a collaborative artwork and will be on display at the Foothills Mall. We invite you to come and see the work that our amazing artists have created, as well as view artwork from all PSD schools!  Creative Endeavors PSD Art Show Information

Community Student Enrichment Opportunities - Each year PSD partners with local community organizations to promote enrichment for kids outside of school.  Please see this flyer packet for enrichment opportunities across the Fort Collins Community in the upcoming months.  

🙋 Volunteer Opportunities

Library Helpers Needed (Quarter 3)
Our amazing Library team is looking for volunteers to assist students with finding and checking out books on Wednesday and reshelving books on Thursdays. It’s a great opportunity to support literacy and connect with students!
