October 25-October 29

Next week is Red Ribbon Week at OCS. Please remember to dress you child according to the notice that was sent home this week. If you have trouble finding clothing for you child to wear that goes with the list that day, please let me know in advance and we can find a way for him/her to participate. All of the students enjoy participating in the school-wide events. Also, remember to check your student's folder for information about the Halloween parade held on Friday.
