however they will meet with the following teachers for these subject areas -

Math - Kathy Oleszczuk, Language Arts - Amy Skolnik,

This will be an exciting time for teachers and students!

Mrs. Boyd's Summer Vacation Suggestion

If you have not already visited The Creation Museum near Covington, Kentucky,

I would HIGHLY recommend it.

My husband and I went last summer and spent five hours there,

wishing we could stay longer.

For more information, go to

http://www.creationmuseum.org or www.answersingenesis.org.

Both are fabulous websites!

Recycling

ODCS announces a paper recycling program with Abitibi Paper Retriever.

You may have noticed two bright green and yellow containers outside of the school,

one on West Ridge and the other near Route 113.

We hope you will help us out by bringing your newspapers, catalogs,

magazines, mail, and office papers and dropping them into a container.

A Final Thought

Thanks again for making this final year at ODCS so special.

I feel so honored and extremely blessed

to have had the privilege of serving Christ here for the past 27 years.

Thank you for sharing your children with me.

I will be praying for all of you and for the continued work of ODCS

in the days and years to come.

Love,

Mrs. Boyd
