Final Note from Mrs. Christensen

Dear Kiddos!  How are you all weathering this COVID-19 quarantine?  I always try to make the best of every situation, but there are days that it is a challenge.  It is really hard to end the year, and an entire 30-year teaching career, without being able to get together one last time!

I just want to wish you all a wonderful life.  Don't be afraid to take a risk to pursue your dreams. Make good choices for good results.  You are the best and I will miss you.

Gateway Voting

     Please be sure to check your email. Last week I sent you the information for placing your vote for the 2019-20 Gateway favorite.  Do not vote if you have not read three or more Gateways. When voting, be sure you vote for one of the books you've read, not an unread title.  These are due today so I can place the vote for our school before we leave for Spring Vacation today.  
     Also, you received emails about getting ready for the upcoming reading party.  Be sure you have a minimum of three blog entries, have submitted your list of books you've read during this school year as well as your free book choice.  I've had to get everything prepared in advance since our OHS Reading Club: Gateway and More will be celebrating our reading on Friday, March 27th during advisory
     Have a wonderful vacation and if there's time, steal away with a wonderful book!
