readers kicked off this year's Parents As Reading Partners (PARP)
with the theme, "Read Like a Rockstar."On January 25,
every student in the school received a new book from the
PTA, and heard about the program from Saturday Night Reader,
who looks amazingly like our P.E. teacher, Mr. Gifford.
Some of the highlights this year will be Dress Like a Rock
Star (2/3/10) and Family Reading Night (2/5/10 at 7:00PM).
Okte families are invited to join all activities and to keep
track of their reading as we watch the guitar graph rise in
our main hallway!

the fifth grade students continued the tradition of the
Holiday Giving Project. All the fifth grade students put
together 20 baskets given to families or individuals less
fortunate or struggling through the holidays. Each class
made a special gift to put in a basket. The Okte community
contributed other small gifts and toiletries. Many thanks to
the all that made this project possible. Wishing everyone a
Happy and Healthy Holiday!
