Spirit Week and Conferences
Next week is Spirit week! It is going to be all kinds of fun and about four shades of crazy.
Here is the schedule for Wednesday and Thursday:
School is released at 11:30
There is no recess on those days.
K/1 lunch is at 10 - 10:30
2/3 lunch is at 10:30 - 11:00
4/5 lunch is at 11 - 11:30
Conferences are scheduled to begin at 12:15
Spirit week rules: Please no masks, blow up costumes, or pretend weapons
Monday: Wear black, orange, and purple
Tuesday: Dress to UNimpress (pajama day)
Wednesday: Hat day
Thursday: Book character day
Clubs, clubs everywhere!
Going forward, we will determine all club participation through a random selection after sign-up. The reason for this is that clubs are in high demand and we are hoping to cut back on inequities that result from sign-up availability when the information is first released.
Additionally, please note that there is some overlap for clubs. We try to avoid that, but there are only so many days in a week :) For example, French theater is on Mondays, which overlaps with a few of the 2 day clubs. So if your student is already in French Theater, they may have to wait for the Spring to do a smaller club.

Trunk or Treat and Jog-a-thon
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the O'Malley community in a fun afternoon! From the parents to the fire department, the vendors and the candy donors, we had a very successful turn-out!
I also want to thank Noella Richardson for organizing it, and Colleen Mead, our AA, for putting in extra time to make sure everything went smoothly. Thank you for all the hard work everyone!
AAANNNDDD can we have a drum-roll please?
The jog-a-thon raised a whopping $53,959! 🥳🎉Individual prize winner highlights will be published next weeks WNW.
Reflection
Dear O'Malley Elementary Families,
I hope you are taking time to enjoy the sun breaks, the snow fall, the falling leaves, and the beauty that is all around us. Before any of us know it, the new year will be here. So in the sprint from here to there, I hope you all find the time to breath, share laughter, and be good to yourselves.
Madame Hayden
