Downtown Caroling, Tuesday, Dec. 19

Students and Staff will be caroling around town today for their December Chapel time. Please make sure your child is dressed warm enough to be outside. Parents, Grandparents, and friends are invited to come listen downtown!

Recipe for a Fun Fundraiser

Start with gratitude and thanks to our great God for 'All Things Bright and Beautiful!'

Combine 172 cute and excited kids.

Throw in some fun and happy music that they love to play and sing with.

Mix in a sprinkle of games, parachutes, hula hoops and balloons!

Toss in a few animals: grizzly bear, donkey, a cow...whatever you have.

Add a dash of helpful teachers!

Top with a sassy turkey and an ornery pig!

Stir all together with a generous audience!

Makes enough for a nice donation for our new building addition!

$8.500!

The OCCS office will be closed during the Christmas break (noon on Thursday, December 21-January 2).

May the Christmas season and Christmas Day be a joyous and blessed time

for you and your families. May the true Prince of Peace fill your hearts and minds with peace. May the love demonstrated through Christ’s birth fill your heart and home and overflow to others.
