Welcome to February!  We are gearing up for our annual Walk for Warmth, led by Student Council.  The mission of this family friendly Walk for Warmth is to raise funds to support those in need in Livingston County to stay warm and safe in their homes during the coldest months.  Student Council has been collecting donations and will then present a check to OLSHA on February 11th at the Livingston County Walk for Warmth event.  We are very proud of our community and our student council representatives for leading this annual event. 

Yours in Education,

Jennifer Goodwin - Principal
