Good Morning, Eagle Nation-
In addition to the items below, I wanted to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU, to our amazing teachers, as we continue to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week this week. There simply aren’t enough baked goods, bags of popcorn or chalk drawings on the sidewalk that could ever express how much I appreciate the staff that I have the privilege of working with each day. Thank you teachers! And now, without further ado, your weekly 3...
Fly High,
Paul Berry, Principal
1) The Scholastic Book Fair is Open!
What's New: Back from a pandemic-related hiatus, the very popular Scholastic Book Fair has returned to campus for a limited run this Wednesday through Saturday.
Why It's Important: The proceeds from the Scholastic Book Fair help fund our school library. It is also a great opportunity to help our teachers update their classroom bookshelves, by contributing to their Wish List fund. To ensure customer safety, this year’s fair will be held outdoors, in the parking lot near the playground. It is open to the public after school this Wed, Thurs & Fri as well as from 10:00am-2:00pm this Saturday. Students are also encouraged to create a storybook character (from an empty toilet paper roll) to decorate the fair. All participants will earn $5 in book fair money for their creation.
What's Next: Create your storybook character and turn it in to Mrs. Jameson by Friday. Shop the fair this week, or consider donating to your teacher’s Wish List fund. Donations can be sent via Venmo (@OLP-Eddie) or brought to the school office. Please be sure to include your teacher’s name along with your donation.
2) New Classroom Doors to be Installed this June!
What's New: New classroom doors have been ordered and are scheduled for installation on campus this June!
Why It's Important: Thanks to a very successful fund-a-need campaign (as a part of this year’s virtual spring gala) we have already been able to purchase new classroom doors for our campus, which are scheduled to be installed next month. These new classroom doors will incorporate a metal frame, tempered glass, and swing-shut locking functionality, to further ensure our students and staff are safe at all times while on campus.
What's Next: Installation will take place in early June.
3) Flower Pick-up (Today) & Silent Auction Pick-up (Saturday)
What's New: Just a friendly reminder that the Wagners Flower Sale pick-up is today (May 6th) from 10am-6pm and Gala Silent Auction Item pick-up will be Saturday (May 8th) from 10am-12pm.
Why It's Important: If you purchased flowers, it’s time to get those in the ground. If you purchased a silent auction item at this year’s virtual gala, it’s time to take that home as well.
What's Next: Come to campus (parking lot) during the appropriate days & times listed above to pick-up your orders.
Weekly Peek: Here's a few pics of what's been happening inside OLP...
We know it has been tough for parents this year, not being able to walk through campus and see what has been going on. We fully understand that most children aren't prone to share much about their day at the dinner table. Therefore, we have decided to add a new section to the Weekly 3, called the "Weekly Peek" where we will include a few quick photos with the hopes of capturing some of the action on campus. Enjoy!
1) Two lucky students were able to be “Principal for the Day” on Tuesday, May 4th. As a part of their duties, Cameron (5th grade) and Claire (PreK) instituted a no uniform policy, which they happily announced Monday afternoon.
2) Storybook characters are already being turned in for this week’s book fair. Remember, each student who creates a character will receive $5 in book fair money.
3) A few of our elementary classes are counting down the last 26 days of school, via the “ABC Countdown”. Tuesday was “C is for Chalk Day” and the Kindergarten class was more than happy to spend some extra time outdoors in the warm sunshine.
