May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month – a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. Chinese American architect, I.M. Pei, began studying architecture in the U.S. in 1935 and earned his B.A. from MIT and his M.A. from Harvard. He is among a select few architects whose work has defined city skylines around the world. One of his most iconic works is the glass and steel pyramid at the Louvre Museum in Paris. In 1983, Pei won the Pritzker Prize, which is sometimes referred to as the Nobel Prize of architecture.
Reminders from Miss Gayle! When students leave class with a bathroom pass, they are expected to use the nearest bathroom on the same floor as their current class. If you choose to use a different bathroom, are found roaming, or take what your teacher determines to be an excessive amount of time, you may be marked as “skipping.” Remember, other students may be waiting to use the bathroom, too, so be mindful of others & responsible by not taking advantage of the bathroom pass.
Fiber Club is finally back! Come to room 219 on Thursday during activity time.
Do you have fines on your student account? Right now, more than 400 students at Odle do. What does that mean? At Odle, if you have a hold on your account, you can’t pick up your yearbook. And these fines don’t just go away, they stay on your account when you move up to high school. If you have fines at high school… You can’t compete in school sports and you can’t attend high school socials. Finally… if you still have fines in 12th grade, you can’t participate in the graduation ceremony or pick up your diploma. Bottom line? Fines don’t just go away. There are lists posted by the attendance window and on the trophy case in the commons. If your student ID number is on the list, you have fines on your account. Please return any lost books, pay the fines on your account, and see the office if you have any questions. We’re here to help.
Today’s lunch is crispy chicken tenders with baked fries, honey mustard, and a wheat roll.
Have a great day everyone!
