Kids Heart Challenge
We have officially kicked off the Kids Heart Challenge Road Trip with the American Heart Association, and we need your help! Over the next 4 weeks students will be learning about their heart and raising awareness and funds for the American Heart Association. Our school's goal is to raise $7500 in donations and for every student to complete Finn's Mission.
Are we there yet? Complete Finn's Mission to get a little closer to our destination of better health. Finn has had multiple heart surgeries. Who do you know who has been affected by heart disease or stroke? Download the Kids Heart Challenge app or go to www.heart.org/khc and register today!

Attention 5th Grade parents! Please make every effort to attend the parent information meeting for incoming 6th grade students. Celina Middle School Principal Mrs. Briscoe will discuss course selections and other important registration information for the 2022-2023 school year. Parents will receive course selection papers to take home to review with their children, and then those papers will need to be returned to O'Dell Elementary.
CISD Book drive
Monday, January 24th - Friday, February 4th
We are collecting gently used books for students of all ages, which will benefit children in Celina ISD schools. Students wanting to donate books can give them to their homeroom teachers. A collection box will be set up in each homeroom class.
The top three classes who bring in the most books will win a prize!

The Counselor's Corner
EMPATHY ACTIVITY: Go for a nature walk to a park or lake. As you sit outside, close your eyes and imagine what it would be like to be visually impaired. What challenges would you face on your nature walk? What beautiful things would you not be able to see? Imagine if you were in a wheelchair. How would your nature walk be more challenging? Discuss how you can show empathy to someone who is disabled.
