III. UNCA Chancellor’s Office visits Odyssey on Tuesday March 28th! – please ensure rooms are tidy, bulletin boards have displays, and there are learning artifacts in your rooms.  All student spaces (cubbies, hooks, etc) need to be super clean.  This is an opportunity to, as Cory stated, “act as Odyssey embassadors and connect with the UNCA community.”  Megan asked if there was a morning centering group that the group could participate in would be wonderful – email her if interested.
