December Edition
A Note From Mrs. DiSalvo
December 2021
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL:
We are decking the halls and getting ready for the holiday season at Madill. There is excitement in the air as we anticipate the joys of December. Please check out all that is happening this month.
With the colder weather, please be reminded that students cannot enter the building until 7:50am. For your child's safety, please do not drop him or her off until that time.
As always, I would welcome any questions or concerns you may have at any time. I can be reached by phone at 315-393-7729 or via email at adisalvo@ogdensburgk12.org.
I would like to wish you all a happy, healthy holiday season.
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Amy DiSalvo

Block O
Block O is an organization of its own entity. We are not associated with OFA, but we give back to all its athletes. We raise money thru fundraisers and concession stands. Coaches submit requests for their teams needs at all levels and those requests are voted on by our members. We buy items that benefit present and future athletes, excluding uniforms. We do not subsidize requests that goes home with the athlete.
Now that you know a little bit about our organization, I hope you will help us help our athletes. We have many fundraisers that are in the planning stages. We are always looking for new volunteers to help us. Please email me blockobooster@gmail.com.
