Today is Friday, February 3rd.

 

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.

 

Ready or not, Vikings, it’s second semester! Miss Gayle reset the count of unexcused tardies to zero so show what you got- now is the time to be on time for your classes! You can do it!
