Brackets for Basketball Tournament at Nashville!!!
Go Tigers!!
Oden families and community,
We have a super busy and exciting week ahead! On Wednesday starting at 4:30 the Oden PTO will host the Santa Supper in the cafeteria. BRING YOUR BEST CHILI OR SOUP! Following the Santa Supper the Elementary Christmas concert will be at 6:00 in the gym. Students need to be at the gym by 5:45. Teachers will be waiting for them to arrive in the lobby. To end the night will be the live nativity play put on by students in FCS. We expect the live nativity to start around 6:45-7:00. We hope to get everyone seated so there is not much foot traffic during the performances. Cookies and hot chocolate will be after the live nativity play in the gym lobby provided by Oden Baptist Church. Can’t wait to see you all! It’s the best night of the year!
Attention Acorn Tiger Fans:
The games tomorrow at Waldron have been pushed back 1 hour. Jr. Lady Tigers will play at 5:30, and the Jr. Tigers will play after.
