News From the Tiger’s Den - April 20th to 24th

Dear Tiger Families,

A HUGE thank you to the OPS School Council and the staff from Gould Lake Education Centre for putting on a FANTASTIC Nature Night last Tuesday evening. Students and their families had the opportunity to plant seeds, make their own trail mix, try archery, experiment with bucket drums and explore furs from Gould Lake.

We are very excited to announce that we were the recipient of a generous grant from the Rotary Club to provide some musical opportunities for the students at Odessa. Junkyard Jonny will be performing at Odessa on April 29th. It is a fanatically fun hour of comedy, drumming, circus arts and plenty of awesome audience participation. Students will have a ball jamming on junk, dancing along with Jonny's crazy antics and learning about the ins and outs of recycling. Our second presentation that is being funded by the Rotary Club is Fana Soro, on Thursday, May 13th. Fana Soro welcome’s us to the percussion music, dance, and wise messages of the Senoufo people from the Ivory Coast. Students will learn about the continent of Africa, their instruments and the love that Senoufo people have for their community. Fana will introduce Balafon and djembe drum rhythms, dance moves, and traditional songs in this highly interactive performance. The Odessa Tigers are guaranteed to feel the beat during both of these performances!

As always, please reach out to us if you have questions or need support.

Take care,

K. Esford, Principal
