Dear OMS families,

It was another wonderful week at the nest, we don't have much to report! We hope you enjoy the beautiful weather! If you haven't started labeling your children's winter clothing (coats, hats, mittens, etc.) now is a great time to get your sharpie out!

In continued collaboration,

Erin, Julia, and the OMS Staff
