From the Office of Principal Denise Francisco
We hope that all our families enjoyed the observance of Veterans Day on Friday. Here is a brief history of Veterans Day and why we observe this holiday. I took these words from the History Channel Website where you can visit and learn even more about this national holiday. Veterans Day originated as "Armistice Day" on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. While Memorial Day is a tribute to those who died in service to the USA, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans, and especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.
We look forward to seeing all our students back in school on Monday. Please dress warmly and wear appropriate shoes to school as students have recess outside unless the temperature is below freezing. This week we have a few special events to remind our families about:
- Gus the Bus will be at school on Monday for our Kindergarten classrooms
- 2nd Grade will be on a Field Trip on Tuesday
- Classroom Spelling Bees in Grades 3-5 will take place this week. The winner from each classroom will move forward to the ORE Spelling Bee on December 15th
- Science Fair Approval Letters have been sent home to all students who submitted a form to the Science Team. We look forward to seeing all of the Science Fair projects when they are due to the school on Monday, December 4th.

2017 AHA Jump Rope for Heart is coming to Oak Ridge Elementary!
In an effort to raise awareness (and funds) for the benefits of exercise for cardiovascular health, Oak Ridge Elementary is sponsoring Jump Rope for Health from the American Heart Association.
Flyers with detailed information were distributed this week, and students are starting to sign up for this great cause and donations are coming in! To make an online donation, please follow this link.
The top fundraisers from each grade level get to slime Mrs. Anderson! That's definitely incentive!

There is a need for volunteers in the morning for set-up, in the afternoon for lighting the luminaries and in the evening after the event for clean-up. Please

We hope to see you there!

Bring Change for a Great Cause -- the entire ORES Community can help the United Way
The United Way organization has projects that strengthen the health and education of communities in our backyard and around the world. In support, Oak Ridge Elementary would like to give the students the opportunity to give back to their community through a United Way Kids Campaign.
There is now a United Way container in the cafeteria for students to donate change. Together with the staff and their own giving campaign, the whole ORES Community can contribute to such a great cause!

PTO Volunteer Opportunities at ORES
Volunteers are the lifeblood of any successful PTO - we hope that you consider
helping out this year! Thank you very much to those who have submitted forms and we have begun reaching out to find the right fit for you.
Guilford County Schools (GCS) requires that all volunteers register with them to serve as a volunteer inside any GCS School. After your initial registration or updating your existing registration, you are all set for one year.
All volunteers must re-register on an annual basis.

Sponsoring our weekly newsletter, gymnasium banners, website and school planners, helps us provide the school staff, our students and our families resources that the school's budget does not provide. If you are interested in a sponsorship, please
contact us.
