Today is Wednesday, November 15th.

Please stand for the pledge of allegiance, Vikings. (wait 4 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 learn and gather on the Indigenous Land of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Duwamish and Snoqualmie Tribes. We thank these caretakers of this land, who have lived and continue to live here, since time immemorial.

 

Attention Vikings!  ASB is busy working to plan the dance that will take place at the end of quarter 2.  While many more details about the dance will be shared closer to the event, right now it is important to know that certain behavior expectations will be in place from November 13 to the day of the dance.  Any student who skips a class, has 6 or more unexcused tardies, or receives a discipline referral to the assistant principals will not be able to purchase a ticket or attend the dance.  Remember Vikings, discipline referrals DO NOT include check ins with your assistant principal or counselor.  Keep being respectful, responsible, and safe. ASB can’t wait to celebrate the end of the first semester with you!

 It’s time to think about June and signing your friend’s yearbooks by pre-ordering your $26 Odle Yearbook . Pre-order from November 6th through November 19th on the Odle school website or in the main office. The last  pre-order window is January 15th through January 28th.

 

And now for the news in science. After studying hundreds and hundreds of elephant sounds and calls, researchers have determined that African savannah elephants have names for each other! The elephants use different low, rumbling vocalizations to identify each individual in their small social groups, and each elephant recognizes and responds to their unique call. It is the first time researchers have ever documented a species other than humans using names.

 

Teachers: Student of the Quarter is right around the corner!! Have you nominated a student? The deadline is quickly approaching!
