Oak Ridge Family Focus
February 3rd Edition
We Did It!
We made it through one of the worst weather weeks of the school year. Heavy snow on Monday, and two record-setting cold days. It was cold and messy. We may have had to dig out some snowy paths and push a few cars out of the snow, but we did it. We survived. Thank you to all of our parents for getting our students to school safely and being patient during arrival and dismissal in the snow. We could not possibly do this without you. So thank you.
