Okma Weekly Message October 30, 2020
Greetings IA Families,
The IA appreciates our significant family involvement. The week of conferences always highlights how invested our school community is in making the school year a success for the students. Our statistics show that over 95% of our families participated in conferences this year. Additionally, the staff is thankful for the continued PTIA support. When the gift boxes were delivered to the new teachers on Tuesday you could see how surprised they were by the overwhelming support. Thank you!
Christopher M. Smith, Ph.D.
Associate Principal

TEACHER APPRECIATION: A big shout out to all of our parent volunteers on the PTIA’s Teacher Appreciation Committee that organized an amazing act of kindness for our IA staff. Each staff member picked up a fall box filled with goodies from Leonardo’s Produce compliments of the PTIA members! Each box had apples, doughnuts, a pumpkin, cider, pears, raspberries, and a Carmel apple! To top it all off, one of our students made a thank you card for every single staff member! Thank you IA staff for doing such a great job with our kids everyday! Thank you parents for your generous spirit, and thank you IA art students for your thoughtfulness and work ethic!
FALL CLEANUP: A HUGE THANKS to all the volunteers that came out to help with fall cleanup. All the beds have been weeded and trimmed.... ready for the winter. We also had a group trim back all the buckthorn from the back field and front of the school. The IA has never looked better with all the colorful flowers fall flowers in bloom. Hooray! A special shout out goes to Christine Schmidt, head of the Beautification Committee.
