Notes from Onondaga Road
March 1, 2024
Message From Onondaga Road School Principal
Hello Onondaga Road Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful February break with your families and enjoyed that surprise of a snow day this week. We sure have had the wide range of weather that comes with living in Central New York.
Our students got right back into the swing of things quickly and had many great learning experiences this week. The PTA sponsored an author visit and our students were able to hear from a local author. Frank Whaley told the school about his experiences as an author and shared some of his stories with us. The students had great questions for him and he told the students that their questions gave him some ideas for future books. With the generosity of the PTA, all students were able to take home a personalized signed copy of his book, "Why Chris, Why?"
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Respectfully,
Michelle Collier
