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.   

 

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!

 

Get ready for a Hispanic Heritage month fact! Did you know George Sanchez is known as the “Father of Chicano Psychology” and was the first Chicano to write about issues of Mexican American wellbeing in the realm of psychology and mental health? He was a leader in the early Chicana/Chicano movement and spearheaded several landmark civil rights aimed court cases focusing on equal educational opportunities for Chicana/Chicanos and opposing the use of racially-biased standardized tests based on non-proficiency in English. #wellnessisourheritage
