The After-School committee
needs your help
We can not
have any programs without your help. We still need someone to head our
fitness, debate, art and music clubs. Hopefully our chess, math, and
Italian clubs will be starting by next month. We are excited that
Madscience has already started. We still need volunteers to help at
carpool. Thanks, Katy Myers

go smooth as ice. Make sure to give them a big kudos!
Rachel Bradshaw, Jenn

stuffing envelopes for the Friends of Odyssey giving campaign and help
organize a craft boutique for the early spring. Please call Barb Lamb or

. There's work to be done!!!!
Technology Committee
In this world of
high-speed internet, wireless everything, email, web sites, and hard drives,
Odyssey would grind to a complete stop without the Technology Committee to
keep us all "online" and "connected." We are so grateful for all our
"techies" who work behind the scenes, behind the wires and beneath the desk
tops of our school. They have crawled through the ceilings dragging wires,
lugged computers home in the dead of night for repairs, and never once
stopped for a high-5 or a round of applause. Without these brilliant
volunteers our emails would be forever lost in cyberspace, our Internet
access would be unfiltered, and our phones would never ring. We may not
understand html and java, but we are all grateful that these volunteers do!
Thanks Technology Committee, and keep on surfing!

Facilities - Playground Update!
We are working on getting new Playground
equipment!!! We are getting bids for adding to the existing playground
equipment. Money has been allocated and we hope to have the bid process
complete and installation begun by the end of September.
In the meantime, we would like to do some
other work on the playground and we need your help!!! The school owns two
basketball standards that need to be cemented into the ground outside on the
edge of the playground blacktop. The project would likely take two days, one
to dig and cement and the next day to add and install the pole and
backboard.
Also, if you have painting equipment or
would just be willing to help us in repainting 4-square and other things on
the blacktop, please let us know. Anyone interested in helping should
contact
facilities@odysseycharter.net.
This is a great way to put in some
volunteer hours and also rejuvenate our playground for your kids!!
Family
Partnership Committee
The Family Partnership Committee has 15
subcommittees and holds the distinction of being the largest of the school
committees. It is also the most varied! Subcommittees range from gathering
volunteer hours to overseeing the lunch program to organizing room parents.
You can email the Family Partnership Committee at
volunteer@odysseycharter.net
Interested in helping in your
child's classroom?
Join the Room Parent Committee

2 Room Parents per classroom (1 over classroom help the other over CET
help). Please help us achieve our goal. We still have teachers that are in
need of Room Parents. Email roomparents@odysseycharter.net
today to sign up!
