On behalf of our Pupil Services team, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all of the sponsors who supported our Holiday Helping Hands Program this season.
Because of your generosity and kindness, we were able to support and provide for many students and families once again this year. Your willingness to give truly makes a meaningful difference in our school community.
Thank you for helping spread care, compassion, and holiday joy to those who needed it most. 💛🎄

🧡🖤 A Holiday Tradition That Keeps on Giving 🖤🧡
Last week, our 6th grade teachers made sure every 6th grader went home with a book to enjoy over the holidays! 📚✨ This special tradition continues in honor of Mrs. Brixen, who started it years ago.
A huge thank you to her fellow classmates for their generous donations—because of you, we were able to purchase 100 books for students to choose from!
Nothing better than spreading the joy of reading this season. ❤️📖

Using aluminum foil, our students engineered their own boats to represent “Old Ironsides”.
History + STEM = smooth sailing!
Way to go, second grade! 🧡🖤








If your student is interested in learning to skate and being a part of this club, Mrs. Marino would be happy to provide you with more information on cost and logistics via email. Registration for the winter session of the Chippewa Figure Skating Club's Learn to Skate program, which our club is a part of, is now open! ⛸️🩵

Due to this evening’s performance being canceled because of the weather, a previously scheduled high school concert on Monday evening, and limited availability before winter break, we will be rescheduling the 3rd–5th grade music programs to take place during the school day on Tuesday, December 23, at the MS/HS in the Auditorium.
Program Times
3rd Grade: 12:30 p.m.
4th Grade: 1:15 p.m.
5th Grade: 2:00 p.m.
We understand this is short notice and may create challenges with work schedules. Our goal is to ensure students still have the opportunity to perform before our scheduled break, as they have been working extremely hard. For families who are unable to attend in person, the programs will be live-streamed and recorded.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. If your child will be unable to participate, please notify Ms. Monk as soon as possible, as it is important for us to reassign student parts in advance.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of OFE.

Due to incoming weather, Osseo-Fairchild School District will dismiss early today.
🕐 Elementary (OFE): 12:55 PM
🕐 MS/HS: 1:00 PM
❌ All after-school activities and elementary programs are canceled.
Fitness Center Closed
We will share rescheduled dates and additional information as soon as it becomes available.
Please stay safe! 🧡🖤
