Growing and Glowing at Olds!
This week, our Growing and Glowing spotlight is on our entire school community. We all celebrated Valentine’s Day on Friday and students were seen showing care, concern, friendship, and kindness to others. There was an incredible amount of joy spreading throughout the building. A quote that comes to mind is “Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” - Mother Teresa. This is a high bar to set but we saw some great examples on Friday. Keep growing and glowing!

Keeping Students Healthy
As we see an increase in students going home due to illness please review these reminders. When your child is sick the best thing you can do is to keep your children home. This will help stop the spread of illness to other children and teachers. Keep them home when they show any symptom of illness.

Help protect your children -- and their classmates -- when they're under the weather so that they can return to the classroom healthy and ready to learn.
