Spirit Week December 13-17
The week of December 13-17 will be our annual Winter Spirit Week. The third grade students have brainstormed ideas for each day and have voted on what each day will be. We will be announcing these days at our Monday Morning Meeting next Monday, 12/6 and then I will send out an email to parents so you know what each special day will be. You can note now that Friday, December 17 will be everyone's favorite - PAJAMA DAY!

Pajama Day & Winter Sing-Along: December 17, 8:45 am
Save the date for the Ormondale Winter Sing-Along on Friday December 17 at 8:45. We’ll be outdoors, so bundle up and stay warm with a cup of coffee or tea from the PTO. It’s also pajama day so the kids (and maybe some parents?) can be cozy in their P.J.s.
