The First Grade Musical will be Tuesday, March 5th at 7:00. Here are some details about that night you might want to be aware of:

*I will be in the room around 6:30.  You can drop your child off there and then find a place to sit to enjoy the show.

*If your child does not have a costume to wear, they should wear their WOHE shirt.

*When the program is over, you can pick up your child directly from the commons area. 

Spring Conferences

This year Spring Conferences will be March 26^th & March 28^th. These conferences will be different from fall conferences in that they are not student-led but more conversation focused and a chance to look at data about your child’s growth this year. I am asking that your child does not attend. Check your kiddos folder! There is a paper inside!

McTeacher Night

On Monday, March 4th from 4-8pm come and support Orchard Hills at the McDonalds on Chestnut Expressway and West Bypass.  WOHE gets a portion of the sales. The best part is that the faculty from Orchard Hills will be taking orders, selling cookies, and having fun!  I will be there from 4-5pm. Come, have dinner, and help support our school!
