| Hello Green Bear Families, This week was Teacher Appreciation Week, and I want to thank all students, parents and the Ottawa Hills Schools Parent Association that helped make our teachers and staff feel so special. The week was "blooming" with thoughtful treats, cards, signs, flowers, coffees, lunches and more coordinated by OHSPA. Please know that our teachers and staff appreciate all gestures of support. In the future, support for our teachers, including donations to the teachers lounge, will be coordinated in conjunction with OHSPA. Thank you, |
