Traffic and Rain in LA are delaying the arrival time— Mr Major
Lukens Lake
Yesterday, Day was spent hiking and biking. Cell reception has been poor so updates (and Pictures) hard to send, but stormy weather was predicted. Students head home today: estimated arrival time is 6 PM. But stay tuned for updates as travel time may change due to weather.

See you bright and early tomorrow morning! Please meet in the outdoor parking lot at 5:30 a.m. on Sunday May 10th to pack up and leave for our Yosemite trip.
Please let Mr. Major or Ms. Christensen know if you need anything or have any questions regarding the trip.
A big thank you to a few dedicated students who stayed late Thursday and Friday afternoons to hand make fresh pasta for our trip!
1 Day until Yosemite! 
We are all excitedly counting down the days until our third annual Yosemite Camping trip! Please use our Packing List and start organizing your supplies for the trip and take a look at our Updated Itinerary. Please let us know ASAP if you need anything or have any questions.
It’s looking like we’ll have similar weather to last year: Clear skies, low 70’s during the day, and 40’s at night. Please make sure to bring layers and good hiking shoes!
All able bodied 8th grade students and their parents are invited to join us for a 30 mile bike ride around San Diego Bay this Sunday May 3rd. We plan to arrive at 7am to park at the ample free parking in Spanish Landing. We’ll then ride down the eastern side of the bay along a combination of secondary roads & bike paths for approximately 15 miles. We then plan to traverse around the south end of the bay and then follow the return route up the strand until we reach coronado. From there we will take the ferry ($4.75 with no extra charge for bike) across to reconnect at downtown before returning to Spanish Landing. All told the ride will be approximately 30 miles with an estimated completion time of 11am with time allotted for a few snack breaks. We’re very excited to have the guidance and expertise of one of our younger OTA parents, Mr. Kirian…who just so happens to be an accomplished triathlete! Interested parties, please contact Mr. Major at jmajor@otacharter.org or 619-916-8384
Our three 8th grade finalists, Nico, Broy, and RT, came in first, second, and third today in the 4th annual OTA Poetry Contest! Nico performed “Chicago” by Carl Sandburg, Broy performed “St. Crispin’s Day Speech” by William Shakespeare, and RT performed “Oh Captain! My Captain!” by Walt Whitman. They competed in the middle school category (6-8 grade). Congratulations gentlemen!
8th grade family and friends are invited to our Poetry Recitation Contest today at 2 p.m. (in the eighth grade classroom). Thank you for your support and we hope to see you there!
