Adventure Scouts Collection Drive

The Ormondale 3rd Grade Adventure Scouts will be running a collection drive for "There With Care" the week of Dec 5th

We are going to help by providing them with much needed supplies.

We will also have a Bake Sale at Triangle Park (near Roberts Market) on

Brussel Sprouts have vitamin C and K and help lower your cholesterol. Some people think they taste bad but they are healthy for you. Mr. Ahlbach's class made Brussel Sprout Chips. 128 students at Ormondale thought they were yummy and 6 students thought they were okay.
