Dear OLM Parents,
Happy October! I can hardly believe how quickly September has flown by. As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, our wonderful school community at OLM is buzzing with excitement for the activities and learning opportunities this month has to offer.
In the classroom, students are settling into their new curriculum routines as our dedicated
teachers are always finding ways to keep learning fun and engaging. Encourage your child to share what they’re learning—it’s a great way to spark conversation at home!
Kindness Week was a fantastic opportunity for our students to express their thoughts on what kindness means. Our hallways are now filled with colorful displays of their work. We invite you to come check out the kindness chain and words of kindness along the walls. as well as their classroom bulletin boards showcasing their recent projects.
A friendly reminder, if a parent is not available to pick up their children, the office is required to be emailed with the contact information including their name, phone number and the relationship to the child.
As for Hot Lunch, we are close to finalizing a program. Stay tuned for further updates!
