As the holidays approach, please remember that we are here as resource if you need assistance.

We care for all our students and their families here at Owens, and we would like to be able to help you find ways to meet your needs.

Do Good December 2021
This month, we're encouraging you to carry out small acts of kindness.
This has been another difficult year of uncertainty and ups and downs for many of us. Kindness is contagious, and helping others has been proven to make us feel better too! Let's try to focus on being generous with our time and attention rather than money - it's free and better for everyone, as well as our planet!
