"When I dare to be powerful to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid." - Audre Lorde, poet and activist
What's good, Olinda Families?
Here are your updates for the week of January 30th through February 3rd. Monday Kicks off the district Spirit Week for Black History month. Please see the attached flyer for the full breakdown on each day. Tuesday is the 100th day of school- many classrooms will be doing parties and projects to mark this moment, be sure to check in with yours. Wednesday is a minimum day with early dismissal for all classes and the start of our yearly "Who Am I?" daily history quiz for all students to participate in during the morning announcements. Friday is the monthly Q&A coffee chat for any interested family to stop by the Parent's Room between 9 am and 10:30 am for a cup of tea and any tech support or other questions folks may have. Don't forget that these weekly updates are best viewed in the ParentSquare app- the official district communications platform, and that they are also copied over to our website, as an email, a text, onto the Facebook Group, and twitter- never miss an update.
