OV Family Newsletter 10/14

We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged.

If you have any questions, please call our office at (425) 366-5200 or email our office manager, Jamie Wright: WrightJL@mukilteo.wednet.edu.

Our Olympic View online-only popcorn fundraiser started last week, and we need your help. Our goal is to raise $25,000 for athletics, music, clubs, activities, events, assemblies and more. As of last night (10/13), we are currently at $14,769. We still need to raise $10,000 more to meet our goal to pay for our sports, clubs and more. Keep sharing those emails and texts. It's not too late to get started!

Last week, we issued a challenge to all of our students to see which first period class could raise the most money. The top class as of last night is Ms. Turner! Her class earned donuts today during first period.

Great job to everyone that has fundraised so far. Our top five sellers at this time are Midori Kukes, Kate Hipolito, Zoe Boyce-Ullom, Maliyah Luiza & Grace Kneller.

This year our entire fundraiser is online. That means no order forms, money, or product to handle! All popcorn gets shipped directly to the customer and shipping is one small flat fee whether one bag is ordered or 100 bags are ordered! 

It's as simple as 1, 2, 3!

UPDATE: Families not interested in selling items can also donate directly to the school. Every $20 donated counts as a $20 sale for prizes. CLICK HERE to donate. (Go to Middle Schools, OV, then ASB donations and fill out any amount you choose.) Families can also come to the office and pay by check, cash or credit card. Questions? Contact our bookkeeper, Lori Koegler.

We would love to honor OV military family members and veterans by having them as our special guests at our Veterans Day Appreciation Breakfast (8:10am) and Assembly (8:53am) on November 7th.

Show your school spirit and dress the daily themes during the week of October 28 - Nov. 1.

Academic Link Outreach is a non-profit organization who is proudly offering a FREE program to all 6th graders to provide extra support for students whose grades are not meeting teacher expectations.

 

Our program:

 

 

Students are welcomed to attend our After-School Academic Success Learning Lab (in the PE Health room-C143), Monday thru Thursday for homework support and individual tutoring. Students can ride the activity bus home (must live in bus boundary).

Look for Ms. Jan and Ms. Frankee in room D-3 during the day if you would like to know more!

Elect to Learn (ETL) is an intervention designed to promote academic responsibility and effort. It is held in the library on Mondays through Thursdays from 2:45-4pm.

ETL is open to all 7th and 8th graders who want extra help on assignments or who need a quiet place to study, make-up past assignments, get help from a staff member and complete homework. Students may also read novels and use computers for classwork, not games. This quiet study time allows students to move toward success in their learning at Olympic View.

Activity buses are available for students to ride home at 4pm (must live in bus boundary). In order for staff to direct students to the correct bus, make sure students know their address. (Pro tip--have student write address in their planner.)

Good news! A few of our clubs have started. Check out the CLUBS CALENDAR for more details. (Make sure to check the start date.) More clubs will be added throughout the school year. Keep checking the calendar!

Students participating in an after-school club can ride the activity bus home (must live in bus boundary). Important--make sure your student knows his/her address. There is a North and a South bus; supervising staff can help students get on the correct bus.

Eat out at Sabor a Mexico (8410 Mukilteo Speedway # A, Mukilteo, WA 98275) THIS WEDNESDAY between 10:30am-9:30pm. Tell them OV PTO sent you and a portion of your bill will be given back to us. For take-out orders, mention OV PTO over the phone.

Free Bingo boards and ice cream sundaes for students. Be the first ones to yell "BINGO" to win prizes. The event happens after school from 2:45-4pm. Snacks available for purchase ($1-$2) and extra Bingo boards for $2.
