LET'S SPREAD THE WORD!     PLEASE HELP
 
Our Open Houses are this month on February 24th, 25th and 26th. We want to invite many families to join us on that day to find out about the wonderful reasons for their child to come to ODCA. You can help in several ways:
 
Lawn signs - We have them in the office so pick one up and post it for people to see.
 
Invite people - If there is a family you know who may be interested in coming....give them a personal invitation.
 
Join us - We could use a few volunteers those days to help us make families feel welcome, provide refreshments or give tours.
Contact the office if there is any way you can help with the Open Houses!
RALLY NIGHT - RESCHEDULED!!!!
 
The Rally Night was rescheduled due to the weather and will take place on Thursday, February 25th at 7:00pm. We are combining the Rally Night with an opportunity for parents to view the Science Fair displays. Parents will be able to go to the gym at 6:30 pm to view the displays and then will go to the "blue" room next to the gym for our meeting. The Rally Night meeting will be a chance to hear from our students, parents and faculty and discuss the upcoming changes in our enrollment procedures.   We will be providing childcare during the meeting. Please RSVP to the office if you are able to attend. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

HELP NEEDED!

Sharon Mack  graciously coordinated the gift and note bags for the school plays for the past several years. She is looking for a replacement parent as her daughter is graduating this year. Please call Sharon Mack (267-575-1706) if interested! We can apply your volunteer time towards your service hours. Please don't let this wonderful service be canceled due to a lack of a coordinator. Sharon is willing to train and assist you.

Also, Joyce Brown is looking for about 5 volunteers to help set up, prepare and serve food from 8:00 am till 11:30 am on March 10th for our new Pastor's Breakfast. Please call the office if you are interested or email Lisa Thomas at [email protected] You will receive service hours for this event.

Science Day kids_bug_in_jar.jpgFebruary 26, 2016

NEW THIS YEAR!

We are changing this event! Instead of a Science Night, new plans are for a Science Fair during the day. Minimal help is required. It will be a fun day for the students with a special assembly, project displays and hands on activities. More details to follow.

We need toys....are you cleaning out?
 
Our Pre-School 3 year old classroom is in need of some gently used and clean toys. Many of our toys are well worn and loved and we would like to freshen our supply. We can use large and small manipulatives, kitchen food and supplies or other items you may have that are in great condition.
