This time we had a special iReady visitor, Plory! Plory is one of three characters that students see frequently as they move through their learning pathway on our online iReady platform daily. This time, we awarded students who made the most growth in reading or math within each grade level. Some students surpassed 300% of their Typical Growth! Almost every student showed growth in reading and math, and continue to impress us with their hard work. We awarded many Perfect Attendance awards as well as Blue Monarch and Energy Bus awards!

Congrats to all of our students on their dedication to attendance and academic growth!

We had a wonderful concert with a packed house for both Kindergarten and First Grade classes on Tuesday. It was a true joy seeing students perform songs and motions collaboratively. Thank you all for coming and for your continual support of our Fine Arts programs at Opequon!

We had over 30 families attend our New Year, New You event on Wednesday. Students and families worked their way through six different stations full of engaging activities and information. At the conclusion, families were encouraged to write a Family Goal for the Year and take home a game for Family Game Night. We look forward to seeing the success you find as a family throughout the year; reading together, running a race together, or saving money for a family trip. It's going to be a fantastic year and we look forward to continued growth and strength of our Opequon Families!

At our January meeting, we discussed the success of Turkey Trot, Grattitude Grams, Joe Corbi's Fundraiser and Santa Shop. We're in the midst of planning our Valentine's Day Dance to be hosted Wednesday, Feb. 11th. More details to come. We also discussed fundraising ideas and how the PTO can best support our teachers, staff, and students!

Our next meeting will be held in February, and has the potential to be online. Please let us know if you'd like an invite by messaging your child's teacher via SeeSaw!
