Hello all!

Happy (soon to be) Christmas break! I hope that you are able to rest and relax over the next few weeks. In your free time, please come break down tree lot on December 22nd at noon :)

This Sunday is ice skating! There are plenty of spots left. We know that there have been two links going around for registration. The one in this email is correct! Sorry about the confusion. Hanna and C.J. failed to communicate and both made a link. Oopsies.

Also, please pay for your student's meals for the Spring semester if you have not done so already. This money goes to the meal teams who make our meals each Sunday night. Every contribution is greatly appreciated! Please scroll down to find the link is below.

Finally, we will be publishing our spring calendar card very soon with all the important dates. For now, please know that YF will resume on January 4th and Confirmation will resume on January 25th. See y'all then!

Grateful for you,

H-Dawg and Siege

ReTakeOut

Bring us your takeout containers!

OGYouth is now working with ReTakeout, a local non-profit committed to reducing plastic pollution. They are asking us to bring out used takeout containers (cleaned) so that they can be reused to help those with food insecurity. We have a collection bin in youth hall. Look at the graphic below to know what is okay to bring.

C.J. and Hanna want to support you in all that you do!

Fill out the link below to let us know when your games, competitions, concerts, and musicals. If we can make it, we will be there!
