What’s happening at the Middle School today?
Thursday, November 13, 2025
It’s almost time for our annual O’Rourke Canned Food Drive! This year’s food drive will begins TOMORROW and continue through next Thursday. Each year O’Rourke families donate thousands of food items to a local food bank which helps people in our community. It’s not too early to start saving food items to donate. Maybe this is the year your homeroom can beat Mr. Tarlo’s homeroom.
Do you have a family member, neighbor, or friend serving in the Military who won’t be home for the Holidays? We would love to include them in our Military Mailbag project. Each year students and staff at the BH-BL schools send Holiday greetings to Military Personnel through the Military Mailbag project. To have someone you know included, please let Miss Gestwick or Ms. Turnbull know.
Thursdays are recycling day at O’Rourke. Homeroom teachers, please send one student down to the cafeteria with your recycling bin. Any bottles that can be recycled can be brought down at this time, too.
And Thursday’s is School Banking Day. Students with accounts at First New York Federal Credit Union can bring their deposits to the main office.
Tomorrow will be an A-Friday.
Picture re-take day is Monday, November 24. See the link below for more information.
