SOAR is a student club that stands of: Students Organized Against Racism. SOAR supports conversations and work to learn more about race. If you have knowledge on this topic,  previous experiences dealing with race, or are interested in fighting racism, please join SOAR! It’s a place where you can be open and share your thoughts and ideas.  SOAR meets every Tuesday in Mrs. Sutton’s room (223) at 4:00 PM.

This week in September is Banned Books Week! Come to the Library to see a display of books that have been Challenged or Banned from schools and libraries and celebrate your freedom to read by checking out a Banned Book! Staff and Students are also invited to take a mugshot photo with a Banned Book that will be displayed in the library next week during lunches. While you are visiting, be sure to enter the “Guess the Shredded Banned Book” contest for a chance to win a $20 Amazon Gift Card. Happy Reading!

Odle Spirit Wear is back! Order forms are in the main office or can be done online. We need all orders by October 5th. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity!

Please remember if your computer is not working for whatever reason, Mr. Tripp is available to help you only during lunch and before school in the library. Please do not take your computer to him at other times, as you will be sent back to class. If you have a problem in class, please look on with a friend or get a print-out from your teacher.

Attention all 6th and 8th graders!  Our district is participating in the Washington State 2018 Healthy Youth Survey this Fall.  On October 10th we will administer this survey through 6th and 8th grade LA classes.  Your teachers will go over some of the details of what the survey entails and share information for you and your families to review. Survey results are used by schools, communities and state agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks. Participation in the survey is voluntary and the students’ answers are anonymous. Please read the Parent and Student Notification Letter for more information about the Healthy Youth Survey. The survey and translations are also available on our website.

 

Today’s lunch is General Tso’s chicken with brown rice.

Have a great day everyone!
