Notes from Onondaga Road
February 3, 2024
Message From Onondaga Road School Principal
Hello Onondaga Road Families,
There have been many great learning activities to share with you this week. Our students have had great experiences in the classroom and have had the opportunity for many great extra-curricular activities as well. I hope to use this newsletter to highlight the wonderful things happening with our students at Onondaga Road. As a reminder, if you would rather your child not be in the photographs that are used in the newsletter, please let the office know.
Our "Soup"er Bowl Food Drive is off to an incredible start, thanks to the generous contributions from our school community. The drive will continue throughout next week and we encourage those willing to participate to bring in non-perishable items to be donated to our local food pantry. Students are able to place the food items in the Chiefs or 49ers containers to vote for who they think will win the big game.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Respectfully,
Michelle Collier

Lost & Found
There are many items that have not been claimed in our lost and found. If your child is missing a sweatshirt, glove, or lunchbox, please remind them to check out the lost and found. We have items displayed on a table by the cafeteria. Hopefully, these items will be reunited with their owners soon.
Brrrr... It's Cold Outside!
The cooler weather is upon us! Remember to send that cold weather clothing! Our students will continue to go outside for recess each day, unless the temperature is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
Please be sure to label your child's cold weather clothing. You will be so glad you did because we see lots of duplicates!
