OMS Family Newsletter
THE WEEK BEFORE WINTER BREAK
Dear Families
When we return from winter break on January 4th, our advisory curriculum will focus on learning about community. We will learn about what resources and organizations there are and how we can contribute to our local community.
Students have been doing an excellent job logging into their Google Meets and participating in the learning activities that have been taking place. Many of our students made the A and B honor roll during the first trimester. These students will be recognized in our next Family Newsletter and students will have the opportunity to come and pick up an achievement award from the school. More information about this coming soon!
The holidays can be tough for families, especially now during the pandemic. Please reach out to Laura Ringen (ringenl@district279.org) if your family is in need of food or gifts over winter break, or if you would like to donate to an OMS family in need. There is also a link to food shelves below.

Sareena Desai has been working very hard to learn and grow. She takes advantage of offers for help from teachers and does her best to build a community in the class, even in distance learning. She has improved her self-advocacy this year. I have absolutely loved watching her become more confident. She truly encapsulates the Oriole Way!

COPING - 19 Resource
As the pandemic continues and we get ready for a subdued holiday season, many people are struggling with their mental health. A new PSA campaign from the Ad Council is trying to highlight some coping strategies.
The new national campaign, supported by the White House, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, CDC and the CDC Foundation, is titled "COPING-19" and is aimed at raising awareness of mental health challenges and providing some tips and resources to help people.
