OLVCS Updates
February 28, 2024
Dear OLVCS Parents and Friends,
Happy, almost Spring Break! We thought we would get the Updates out today since many are leaving early.
As a reminder we are collecting canned tuna and ready to eat (non condensed) soup for the State College Food Bank. We are trying for 29 cans on the 29th of February for each class. This of course is optional.
We are leaping into Spring Break with a Dress Down Day on Friday!
Enjoy the week off, I hope it is restful and fun!
Make it a Great Day!
Samantha
