Happy October
Thank you for all of the support and hard work that parents, students, teachers and staff contributed to have another great Carnival.
We raised a great deal of money for OPA and I enjoyed watched families enjoy games, food and each other.
This week (Oct 8,9) are the Elementary Parent Teacher’s Conferences. Sign ups are still going for K-4, 5-6 will be in an open-house model. Thursday (8th) is an early release at12:45; conferences begin at 1:30 till 5:30, and return at 6:30-8. Friday (9) conferences are from 8-12. Secondary Teachers will be in Professional Development during the Elementary PTC; therefore all students are out early on Thursday and have no schoolFriday.

Some highlights this fall in OPA sports and activities: The cross-country team is undefeated and has 55+ participants. The Volleyball team is 9-1. The young runners club in the elementary is at 95 runners and fills the entire parkway with runners. Robotics is raising money strategizing for spring. The YMCA has joined us to provide after school activities and care in the elementary and is evaluating the possibility of some tutoring and support activities for middle school. We are thrilled to have them with us. For all activities at OPA check out opaeagles.org where you can also buy OPA gear.
