Oak Ridge Family Focus
June 2nd Edition
Thank You
As we write our last Family Focus Newsletter of the year, we want to say thank you. Thank you for attending all of our school events this year like Willy Wonka Kids, Running Club 5k races, and holiday parties. Thank you for always making sure our students arrive to school on time and come prepared each day. Thank you for putting in long hours by working at home on reading logs, journals, and projects. But most of all, thank you for being you. We could not possibly do everything we do and our students could not have the success they have without you. Thank you for making Oak Ridge such a great place to learn and grow.
Happy Holidays
We want to wish a happy holidays to our families that are celebrating this week. We hope you spend plenty of time with family and friends, and create lasting memories you will never forget!
