This months Regal Eagle award goes to John and Barb Spears. Two of nicest people in town. During baseball and softball season, they usually aren’t too far away from Odin Park. They took care of the park for several years. If you see them out and about when some form of normalcy resumes I will guarantee you they will greet you with a smile. Thank you both for being the outstanding people you are and wonderful examples of what Eagles in the village should be like. Remember you can email your nominations to RegalEagle@odinpublicschools.org
The Easter Bunny will be up at the school this Saturday from 1-3 p.m. hoping to see all Odin students and their families. Hop in the car with your family so you don't miss out!
