Safety Update for Walkers

As the construction gets rolling it is important for parents as well as students to follow the walking guidelines when entering and exiting the school. In order to keep everyone safe and away from construction vehicles please use only the north side of Olive street when crossing Arlington Heights Rd. Continue on the north side of Olive street until you can cross at Belmont with the crossing guard. Please do not cross at Olive and Pine, or anywhere there is not a crossing guard or cross walks, even if you are without your children. Parents need to exemplify following these procedures so that their children will too.
 

PTA Meeting - November 4th

Please join us for the next PTA meeting, November 4th at 7pm in the LMC. We will have Mrs Mary Moore, our school social worker, speaking to us about childhood anxiety. We look forward to seeing you there, everyone is welcome!!
 

Olive PTA got an Award!!

The Olive PTA received the award for Outstanding PTA at the District 37 Awards Dinner last week. District 37 is the district that encompasses all of the schools in the Northwest suburbs, including District 25, which is a lot of schools. We won this award based on our total volunteer hours, trainings our board and committee chairs attended, membership numbers, and our PTA clubs and events in the 2014/2015 school year. We could not have won this award without the support and commitment of all of the Olive volunteers. Your time and service is so appreciated, you are what makes Olive great! Thank you!! Check out the plaque in the office and then in the trophy case by the art room.
