Hello Incredible Orangethorpe Families
I hope you had a great weekend, the weather was beautiful.
Thank you for supporting our fundraiser and eating at McDonalds before or after Open house. I will let you know how much we raised in the next few weeks.
Thank you also to everyone who joined us for Open House. I was so excited to see everyone on campus to enjoy the amazing work our students have accomplished. It was also fun to see students who previously attended Orangethorpe come back with their siblings.
Special shout out and thank you to the Morales-Cuellar and Sixtos/Espinoza families for joining us on Saturday morning to beautify our school for Love Fullerton. Your help was greatly appreciated.

We have 6 weeks left of school but there will be a lot asked of our students during these 6 weeks as 3rd - 6th grade begin their state testing. Please help your student by making sure they are at school on time to either get breakfast or so they are not worrying about being late. They have done amazing on their last I-Ready tests and I know they are going to do equally as well on the state assessments.
Thank you for everything you continue to do for your children, you are making a positive impact in their lives and it is showing at school.
Go Orcas
Mrs. Bennett
