  • Friday, November 13 is Olivet School Spirit Day.  Students are encouraged to wear green and white or Olivet School Spirit t-shirt/sweatshirts.¬    Don’t forget to place your Market Day order.  Pick-up will be Saturday, November 14, 10:30-11:30 at Schalick High School.    
  • The PTO will be hosting the Scholastic Bookfair on November 16 - 20.  There will be a Family Night at the Bookfair on Wednesday, November 18.   All profits from the bookfair go directly to our school in the form of library books and other reading materials.  Details will be sent home shortly.
  • American Education Week is designated for November 16-20.  We will have special visitation times during this week.  Information will be sent home as we get closer to the week.

  • School will close early on Wednesday, November 25 and remain closed on November 26 and 27 for Thanksgiving.  An early closing schedule will be sent home so you can adjust your schedule to meet the bus schedule changes.  Olivet School will dismiss at 1:30 PM.

As you can see, November will be busy for all of us.

I welcome your comments or suggestions at anytime and I look forward to seeing you at the PTO Meeting, PTO Bookfair, and during American Education Week.


Happy Thanksgiving,
