OA REMINDER: In case of an unscheduled school delay, closing, or early dismissal, our goal is to notify the community efficiently and promptly. We know our decision to close schools in poor weather can be burdensome to families due to childcare and work schedules. We consider canceling school an exception and strongly emphasize keeping our schools open. Students benefit both academically and socially by being in school.
Please take a few minutes to review the school closing procedures: https://5il.co/1kpsd

About a month ago, a group of Owego Free Academy students spent the morning cleaning up the courtyard of the Absolut Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Endicott. Those students returned on Thursday, December 7th, to decorate for the holiday season. During both visits, the nursing home residents watched the courtyard transform from their windows.
