How do fresh navel oranges and red grapefruit sound? Or bright clementines? Maybe some juice? Apples and pears? Impressive pineapples? You have choices, and we can help provide delicious, nutritious fresh fruit while you also support Otselic Valley's FFA membership past and present through the annual fruit sale. The OV FFA Alumni chapter is handling this year's sale, and they will be selling from now until the week of November 2nd. Pick up times later in the season will be announced. For your convenience, ordering can be done online via a Google Form--just click the clink to see a photo of what's available, and make your choices on the form.

The Otselic Valley Teachers Association Community Outreach Committee designed and sold No one Fights Alone pink t-shirts as a fundraiser to raise money for breast cancer research. Through giving by faculty and staff, OVTA will be able to donate about $500 to breast cancer research. At Otselic Valley, we will have 2 Pink Out Days: October 22 (B cohort) and October 26 (A cohort, new date!), to give students in both cohorts a chance to participate. Students do NOT have to donate money, but all can join in by wearing any shade of pink. Why? Because nearly every student knows someone who has been affected by cancer. It's good to see that "No one fights alone." Thank you, everyone!

Parents and guardians, please watch for your students' 5-week progress reports, coming soon. If you see a number of absences and missed assignments, this will be a good time to remind your Vikings that remote-learning days are still learning days, not vacation. Students have assignments to complete, and they are marked absent and ungraded for missed work. Unlike last spring when we had to close unexpectedly, in this school year students CAN fail for not completing work. All assignments are available on Schoology, and all students can access their work from home. As always, please stay in touch with teachers as needed, and take advantage of our many remote learning resources. A virtual classroom is still a community of learners, and we are here for you.
