Message from the Principal
Dear Oswegatchie Families, Thank you very much for you participation in both the OSO Back to School Picnic and Open House. Attendance at both events was at an all-time-high, a testament to who we are as a school community. Great job to all! Next week is a busy and exciting week for us! Monday is a field trip to the Coast Guard for a concert for grades 1 through 5. Tuesday is one of my favorite days of the year, Picture Day. Seeing the kids in their best never gets old! Yom Kippur is on Wednesday and school will not be in session. For those that observe, G'mar Tov. On Thursday, we will acknowledge those students that read over the summer. We want to make sure that everyone that read over the summer is recognized, so please make sure to send in any documentation like a reading log or list of completed titles in with your child on Monday, the final deadline, so we can prepare accordingly. In addition: Monday Sept. 17, the OSO will be holding its monthly meeting at 6:30 in the library. In regards to the mum sale benefitting the 5 th Grade Promotion, those orders will be available for pickup in front of the school on Thursday, Sept. 20 from 2:45 pm until 5:30pm. If you are looking at the school, pickup will be on the patch of lawn just to the right of the entrance of the building.
