Week of November 1st

Hi Everyone,

Wow! What an incredible week and weekend OH had! It was so nice to spend time with everyone both in and out of school this past week. The feeling of community really settled in as we pulled together to get lots of things accomplished.

Please remember that this week we have no school on Thursday. MS and High school students should use this Thursday as an FLVS work day from home.We do have school Friday.

Here is this week's update:

Things to ask your student about:
  • High School: What prompt did you select for your literary analysis paper?
  • Middle School: What is the theme for PBL for the next four weeks and what is your essential question?
  • Elementary: What are you doing with videos every morning?
PBL update:
  • Both Middle School and High school are now officially starting their PBL "cycles." What this means is that they will be completing projects every 3-4 weeks.
Fundraising update:
  • All I can say is that the scarecrOHs made the harvest festival a lot more festive. What a great way for us to show the community what OH Institute can do. There were a lot of compliments all around on the scarecrOHs and we raised some money along the way!
  • Our next parent fundraising meeting will be this Friday at 9:00am at Amavida's. We will work on getting our next fundraiser "a chance to win trips" together.
Things we need:
  • Snacks- the healthier the better!
  • Cleaning supplies: we would love to get two more brooms and dust pans. We would also love two more swiffer wet mops. These things will allow for us to clean all areas of the school more efficiently.
Attitudes of gratitude:
  • Huge attitudes of gratitude to everyone for helping to make our first fundraiser ScarecrOH lane a success. From the great signs made by Joe to all the hard work in designing, creating, hanging and working the bake sale every family played an integral part. Did you know that every family participated in working on the fundraiser and/or donated baked goods and other supplies? We are an awesome community!
Happy Birthday to Alex and Leah 11/3!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your week!
