OLMC PRINCIPAL MESSAGE
6-14-18
 
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS:
As our year ends, we need to make sure all our financial obligations for the 2017-2018 school year have been met.  All tuition, fundraising fees, lunch IOU’s, Latch Key and missed service days MUST be paid in full before any students will receive their Report Cards or Record Cards are sent. 
 
SAYING GOOD-BYE:
Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Mrs. Knickerbocker and Mrs. Wade on their retirement.  Both of them have been a vital part of OLMC and will be truly missed by all.
 
We are also saying goodbye to Ms. Toapha.  Ms. Toapha has only been here for two years, but has made a great impact on the children she has taught.  She will be moving on to share her Literacy knowledge with other students next year.  We thank her for all her hard work the past two years.
 
FUNDRAISING UPDATES:
All outstanding fundraising fees are now past due.  Please submit payment to the Main Office by tomorrow.
 
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION:
Please continue to collect Box Tops over the summer.  We earned over $800 this year in Box Top returns!

We still have yearbooks available.  The cost of the yearbook is $25.00.  If you want to order a yearbook, please send in an order form with payment to the Main Office.  All grades are in the yearbook and it is in full color!

SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENTS:
This summer we are doing things a bit differently.  We have decided that all students in grades 3-8 will be required to read the book WONDERS by R. J. Palacio.  This book has a wonderfully written message that we feel is essential, to the core, of what we want for and from our students here at OLMC.  We encourage not only the students to engage in this book, but it is also a great book for the parents to read along with their child or children.  For our students in Grades K-2, parents are welcome to read the book to their child or there is a version of the book written for that grade level called WE’RE ALL WONDERS by R.J. Palacio.  Our goal is to use this book throughout the school year and to become a “WONDER SCHOOL” using the following quote as our motto “When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.”  Students will be given specific summer assignments on Tuesday when they leave.
