Odessa
At
St. Bridget School

The students in Mrs. Nowak's third grade were becoming very concerned about Odessa since she was late in arriving at St. Bridget. The students decided to write in their journals about what they thought might be the reason that Odessa was behind in her travel schedule. Here are some of their ideas.

• Samantha- The other school is probably still saying their good-byes.
• Stephanie- I think the other school didn't get Odessa at the right date either.
• Stephanie O- because of the weather
• Michelle- traveling  around the world
• Cari- it would take long because she was far away
• Eric- It takes a few days to get here from KY.
• Charlotte- maybe traffic
• Mike- maybe a blizzard came and canceled shipping arrangements
• Amanda- The mailman got into a snowstorm.
• Anna- She got lost in the mail.
• Ashley- because it takes a long time to travel
• Daniel- because the school had her for more one week
• Travis- because mail is not always on time

Finally on Tuesday, February 15, Odessa arrives!!

I finally arrived. Mrs. Nowak's third grade class was very worried about me. I was so excited that a new adventure was starting. After computers we went upstairs to class. The children looked in my box. Then Ashley, Stephanie O, and Stephanie T took me to lunch. I got ketchup on my nose. At recess they showed me around St. Bridget. Anna and Cari took me to music.

Greg and Bridget brought me to computer class. They set me on their red "help" cups. Sister Rita came in and Mrs. Groff took a picture of me. Then I went to Religion class with Eric and Danny. I even got to play in gym with everyone. Sister Constance came in to teach us English.
