| Hello Green Bear Families, In memory of Dr. Bauer's daughter, Charley, we will be collecting pull tabs from aluminum cans to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Tabs can be collected in any clean container and added to the large orange box near the elementary main office. RMHC is paid by recycling companies for the aluminum and uses the funds to purchase meals for families using their programs. We hope to collect 42 gallons of pull tabs before the end of the school year on May 30. Have a good weekend, |

| Pedestrian Safety Week is March 10-14 This a great time of year to remind ourselves how to share the roadways safely. - Walk facing traffic; bike and scooter with traffic.
- Cross at crosswalks and always look left, right, and left again.
- Follow road signs when biking or scootering. Equip bikes and scooters with front lights and red rear lights or reflectors.
- Drivers: Stay alert! Avoid distractions like cell phones and earbuds—it’s the law.
- At night, wear bright, reflective clothing and carry a flashlight to stay visible.
Join in for a village stroll on Tuesday, Mar. 11, at 7 p.m. Walkers, dogs, and strollers are welcome for this one-mile family walk. Meet at the high school flag pole and dress to be seen! The OH Boosters will sell pizza and goodies before and after. |

If you need to reach your child during school hours, please contact the main office. The school will not be responsible for any lost or broken devices during the school day. |

| A message from Nurse Baird The health office continues to see students who are out sick with viral illnesses. This includes influenza A as well as other viruses that spread easily through coughing or sneezing. Our maintenance team has been diligent cleaning classrooms, including using the Clorox 360 machine, and recently installed hand sanitizing stations for students to use as they enter the lunchroom. It is important for parents to remember the following: Students should not attend school unless they have been free from the following symptoms for 24 hours: - fever (without the use of fever reducing medication)
- vomiting/diarrhea
Please consider helping your student clean frequently used items, such as their lunch bag and keyboard, with a Clorox wipe, to help prevent the spread of illnesses. |

"Calder Café" celebrates art The elementary school gym was transformed into the "Calder Café" this week for the annual Art Fair. Alexander Calder was an American artist and sculptor famous for incorporating movement into his work. Students in grades K-6 had artwork displayed throughout the building. A special thanks to OHSPA for sponsoring the event and to all the volunteers who made it possible—especially art teachers Mrs. Bodziak and Wendi Danzeizen, volunteer Art Fair committee chair Mrs. Meade, and the many parents and students who contributed to the breakfast event. |
