Head of School update, 1/25
We were thrilled to see so many of you at our Meet the Teachers Open House last week! It was especially wonderful to watch current Odyssey families welcome potential Odyssey families - thank you all for being such incredible ambassadors for our sweet school.
Please be sure to read about the Spring Club offerings, linked within. We have a truly unique set of options for kids, and we encourage your students to try one (or two or three!) this spring!
Open House Success!
Thank you to everyone who came out for our Open House—what an incredible turnout! From raffle winners to meeting our amazing teachers and exploring their truly magical classrooms, the energy was everything!
Meeting a quilter: 3/4 Visit
Renowned quilter Luke Haynes came to visit and spoke with our 3/4 students about the art of quilting, his creative process, and the winding, wonderful road that led him to life as an artist.
Middle School: Minimester Showcase!
This week, our middle school students took the stage to share the heart of their Minimester learning—and wow!
From the power and precision of a Polynesian dance focus, to striking hand-crafted spirit masks that explored identity and symbolism, to thoughtful presentations on community care, this performance was a beautiful reflection of whole-child learning in action.
Students also shared how they collected donations for Homeward Bound and reflected on why supporting our unhoused neighbors matters. Their words reminded us that learning at Odyssey isn’t just about academics—it’s about empathy, creativity, and showing up for our community.
We are so proud of these curious, compassionate, and courageous young humans.
