We are now accepting donations for the 17th annual Can the Eagles!

This is a yearly fundraising competition between Ozark and Nixa that benefits Least of These, a food pantry in Ozark. Non-perishable foods can be donated at any Ozark school building, and monetary donations are being accepted on MySchoolBucks: https://qrco.de/beEPKs. Every $1 = 5 pounds of food!

Donations are being accepted from now until Oct. 18, when Ozark football travels to Nixa for the annual Backyard Brawl football game.

Help us give back to our community as we Can the Eagles!

OCTOBER 2024

Hello Tiger Paw Families,

This month I will read A Little Peaceful SPOT and the ABC’s of Peaceful Spot. These books teach that we can have BIG emotions like anger, sadness and anxiety/worries and ways we can calm those BIG emotions to be more peaceful and ready to learn. In our social skills groups, we will continue to talk about ways to calm our BIG emotions as well as reading A Little Safety SPOT at school and A Little SPOT on Halloween! All the SPOT books are written by Diane Alber.

Please call or email me if you have any questions or concerns.

My email is maryanderson@ozarktigers.org or call me at (417)582-5992.
