Letter from Principal Bean
Dear Families,
Field Day an Amazing Success: As usual, Ms. Bruecher pulled off another amazing field day. Thank you so much to all the volunteers, especially Kristel Gonzales. We couldn’t have had this event without your support.

2025 Graduate Walk on Thursday: We are starting a new tradition this year. On Thursday, we are inviting all high school seniors from the graduating class of 2025, who have attended Olympic View, for a “Graduate Walk”. These seniors, dressed in cap and gown, will parade through our halls as our students and staff cheer them on. We are so proud to honor this milestone!
Computer Device Return: This week students will be returning all devices. If you have any chargers, please return them.

On January 17 we will have an OV Pride Dance/Recess in the afternoon at 1:30 PM.

This Week’s News
Field Day Thank you
I would like to say thank you to parent volunteers Kristel Gonzales and Chad Cabigting, and our lunch room manager Mindy for helping get volunteers, freezing otter pops and feeding our students with a special menu. I would also like to thank all our families who signed up to help support the activities and with lunch. Field Day is such a great time to both build and celebrate what a great community we have at Olympic View. I also want to thank all my colleagues who supported the students through the day. This is the 21st Field Day that I have organized.

Thank you, take care of yourselves and until we see each other again!
Mrs. Bruecher
