Dear Tiger Families,

It is beginning to feel like Spring might be in the air. We celebrated the March Success Assembly on Friday afterrnoon as a school community.

2026March10 Congratulations to Mary A., Thomas W., Brianna M., Della W., Aurora E-S., Lucas P., and Ben H. as they were all recognized as "Tigers in the Spotlight" at the assembly. All of these students have set goals for themselves and worked exceptionally hard to acheive them this month.

The name of our new Odessa Tiger was revealed at the assembly on Friday. All students had an opportunity to make suggestions for the name. The suggestions were shortlisted to the following names: Tiggy, Tyrone, Stripes and Roary. The voting took place on Thursday, March 5th. We are excited to name our new tiger... STRIPES! Stripes received twice as many votes as any of the other names. We look forward to continuing to see Stripes around the school and at community events.

The school has completed all of the purchases from the Indigo Love of Reading Grant. We were lucky to receive close to $11 000 in resources for our school. Students and staff made suggestions and we added MANY books to the classroom libraries, as well as the main library. There were also a large selection of books purchased for teachers to use as mentor texts in classrooms. The grant also allowed us to add a number of educational games to our library game cart. The students had the opportunity to try out some of the newest ones at games club this week. Thanks again to Mrs. T who was instrumental in organizing the Indigo Love of Reading Grant and program. We appreciate all of your hard work!

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

Take care,

K. Esford, Principal
