Stand for the pledge of allegiance Vikings (wait 3 seconds)

 

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. (wait 3 seconds)

We pause to acknowledge that Odle Middle School resides on the traditional and occupied land of the Coast Salish Peoples – past, present, and future. We honor their connection to the region, pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present, and stand in solidarity through their struggles.   

 

Get ready for more Hispanic Heritage facts! If you have been able to see ruins in Mexico then you know how amazing the Aztec people were. Did you know  the Aztec language, Nahuatl (nah-wah-tul), was the dominant language in central Mexico by the mid-1350s? Numerous Nahuatl words borrowed by the Spanish were later absorbed into English as well, including chile or chili, avocado, chocolate, coyote, guacamole, and ocelot (ahh-suh-lot).

 

Hey Vikings! The library is now open to students during lunch! During your 15-minute recess time, you can come to the library to relax, hang out, and check out books! Due to social distancing guidelines, the library will be limited to 40 students. Once this limit is met, the library doors will be closed and additional students will be directed to go outside to the designated area. In the library, seating will be limited to 3 students per table; students must maintain 3 feet of social distancing; and masks must be worn at all times.  The library is a quiet place to relax, study, check out books, and read. It is not a place to eat your lunch or snacks. Thank you for your cooperation and see you soon!

 

 

Students – so far this year you have earned a total of 2,322 OARRS! That is incredible! Thanks for putting your first AND last name on your OARRS and writing your name legibly. It helps leadership so much! The current prize options are: movie and snack after school with a friend, lunch and snacks with principals, 5 minutes early to lunch, AND an extra special prize you can check out when you turn in your OARRS outside the office. Keep being respectful, responsible, and safe.
