Olympic Hills families,
It's hard to believe we only have one week left of this school year! Today was the Otter Day of Action, the culminating project for the Social Justice Curriculum Action Unit. Each class paired up with a buddy class to plan a project to take action against an injustice in our school or community. See below for a full description of the action projects!
See you Saturday at the Summer Festival!
In partnership,
