OME Families,
Join us on Wednesday, May 7, to celebrate Walk + Roll to School Day at Owen
Marsh!
We encourage families to walk, bike, scooter, skate, and roll to school to celebrate
all the cool things about staying active. Moving by our own power promotes a
healthy mind, body, and planet, and helps kids show up awake and ready to learn at
school.
This Thursday, May 8th we would like to have a pizza and awards celebration for the basketball and cheerleading students after school from 3:30 - 5:00. (Cheerleaders wear uniforms) Students will need transportation and be picked up at 5:00.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
~ Mrs. Conaway
