Absent Blogger...

Why didn't someone tell me it has been two weeks since my last post? Anyhow...

There are many things happening here at OCS and we continue to move along enjoying success in all areas of the school.

Congratulations to staff members, Mrs. DiRenzo, Mrs. Esposito, Ms. Dachisen, Mr. Causton and Mrs. Hart who were all awarded mini-grants from the OCS PTA! These mini-grants are graciously provided by our PTA to as sit teachers with projects and materials they might need to bring new ideas to the school.

Congratulations also to Mrs. Kantz who was awarded a grant from the Eagleton Institute of Political Studies! This grant will allow us to continue to take students to the State house in Trenton! This is the fifth year in a row our school has been awarded this grant!

We enjoyed a successful Walk to School Day back On October 6th. I won't lie and say I was happy with the number of students who joined me in the walk to school... because I was hoping for more students and parents. Maybe next time?!

Red Ribbon Week is coming up during the last week in October. The RR Committee has been working hard all year to develop activities that will promote healthy choices for our students. This is the 25th year that Red Ribbon Week has been promoted in NJ. Consult our website and the letter that will go home about the week's activities.

Well got to run, duty calls.

Till next time...
