It is important that students are doing the following over these next two weeks:

- Eating a good breakfast each morning (Oak Ridge offers breakfast each morning!)
- Arriving to school at 8:15am each day so he/she is ready to go
Our students have learned SO much this year, and we are extremely excited for them to show off all they know!
