1. Are you and your parents taking extra days off at Christmas break? A vacation form needs to be submitted to the office prior to the absence so that Mr. Carter can approve the absence.

2. Help us spread happiness this Christmas by being a part of Project Happy-Christmas. We are asking that you join us in purchasing, filling and wrapping one shoebox for children in Erie County. Return it to the school office or one of the drop spots listed on the flyer. OHgo will be picking up the shoebox gifts on December 19th. Thank you for participating and making a difference this Christmas.

3. Abi and Hannah Miller will be picking up items you have collected for the Chemo Care drive on December 18th. They will be delivered in Christmas care packages to kids in the chemo care unit at University Hospital over winter break. Help your homeroom win a doughnut party while collecting items to make a child smile! Thank you for your support.
