 | Important Update on Outdoor Ed and Catalina Trips
|  |
Update on 6th Grade Outdoor Education Trip for December:
 As of Friday morning, September 25th we are approximately $33,000 SHORT of donations in order to meet our trip's expenses. We do have donations that have come in today and will be tallying those up as well as any further donations that are able to be sent in within the next couple of days. We want to know that we have all the donations possible before we make a final decision. We will know more early in the week and will keep you posted on whether we will need to cancel the trip.
Update on 7th Grade Catalina Trip for November:
Catalina donations are due on October 1st. Currently, we are about $19,000 SHORT of donations in order to meet the trip's expenses. If you intend to make a donation to cover the cost of your child's Catalina, trip, we urge you do so before the 1st. We are concerned about the feasibility of this trip as well.

Our first dance of the year is this Friday, Oct. 2. The theme is "Under the Sea". This dance is usually the largest attended and we will be doing a staggered beginning and ending; 6th grade students will be admitted at 5:30 pm and will be released at 7:30 pm; 7th and 8th grade students will be admitted at 6:00 pm and released at 8:00 pm. Students must bring ID cards to be admitted to the dance. Students will only be released early from the dance to their own parents, unless a note, signed by the parent, is provided specifying with whom the student may leave.

Parent Volunteer Coaches Needed for Odyssey of the Mind
| |
Parent or Adult Volunteers are needed to coach teams for Odyssey of the Mind! Becoming an Odyssey of the Mind Coach will probably be one of the most rewarding volunteer roles you could possibly ever have. In the end, you will absolutely be amazed by what the kids have created and the problem they will have solved completely on their own...but they could not have done it without you as their coach!
- You will have the opportunity to work with a team of 5-7 kids to facilitate creative problem solving, team building and brainstorming.
- You do not need to be an expert in a particular area, you just need to have a passion to see kids grow and learn.
- You will provide an opportunity for students to showcase a wide range of talents such as script writing, prop and scenery design, music, dance, building, robotics, etc.
- Being a coach is the only way to ensure that your child will be on a team!
Learn more and get trained on October 3rd from 10 am -12:30pm at Oak View High School in room 104.
