Dear Tiger Families,

2025December19 Time is flying by and there are only ten days left until the holiday break. We had a very eventful week as Odessa last week that finished off with our Success Assembly and Jingle Bell walk. At the December Success Assembly, we had lots to celebrate. Congratulations to Mr. Schneider's and Ms. Young's classes for winning the November Green Team Award. They received a banner and Odessa Green Team stickers to thank them for the effort and energy that they put into composting and recycling. Mrs. Allen's class was also celebrated for having 100% family participation in Knowledgehook. If you have not connected to your child's account we encourage you to do so. Five students were celebrated this month as our "Tigers in the Spotlight". These students are nominated by educators at Odessa for doing hard things. This month, Alex and Aaria were celebrated for effort and growth in their literacy skills. Paisley and Carson received awards for their kindness, responsibility and readiness to learn. English was celebrated for his personal growth and accomplishing some significant goals that he set for himself. We couldn't be more proud of these five Tigers for their effort and growth. Keep up the excellent work!

Our Junior Boys and Girls Volleyball teams competed at the Recreational Junior Tournament at NDSS on Thursday, December 4th. Both teams played well and demonstrated excellent sportsmanship. The coaches were very proud of their skill development over the course of the season. Thank you to Ms. Young, Mme. Morrow and Mr. Legge for the time and energy they put into coaching the teams. Congratulations on a great season!

The school enjoyed the Jingle Bell walk on Friday. Thank you to all of the families who sent in food for the food drive. As a reminder, the food drive runs all of next week and there is an opportunity to donate items at the Winter Magic Night on Wednesday.

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

Take care,

Krista Esford, Principal
