Dear OHS Families,

Hard to believe we move into March at the end of this week! 

Birthday Table Cake Refresh

Part of celebrating birthdays is the opportunity for family to come in and have lunch with the student celebrating.  We have a special birthday table for the family adorned with a birthday cake.  Years ago, our current lunch aide, Karen Buturla, made the special cake.  It was starting to look a little worn out so recently Ms. Karen took it home and refreshed it.  You can see the cake after its makeover in the photo with Ms. Karen.  Thank you, Ms. Karen!

CARES Assembly Review

On Friday, we had our monthly all-school CARES assemblies.  For this month, we focused on kindness through the lens of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., reading a book, Martin’s Big Words, and then discussing several of Dr. King’s quotes.  Our fifth grade CARES Council members from 5H led the discussion portion of the assemblies first asking what the quotes meant to the students in the audience and then sharing their own thoughts on what they mean for our community.  The 5H Council did a wonderful job preparing for the assembly with Mrs. Day and then leading the discussion. 

Grade 5 Invention Convention

This Monday, 2/26, our fifth graders will be sharing their invention ideas at our Fifth Grade Invention Convention.  Ms. Hanley has organized a full day for our presenters, who will be presenting their ideas to their families in the morning and then to judges in the afternoon.  The judging will determine who presents their idea at the state invention convention.  No matter the results of the judging, all the ideas and work by our students are celebrated.  Thanks to Ms. Hanley for her work in preparing students and to all our fifth-grade families for supporting the work at home.

Class Placement Letters

We will again be accepting letters from families to provide information to our placement teams to help in the making of class groupings for the 2024-2025 school year. Please see the linked letter for more information about the information we will accept. Please know letters containing information we do not accept will be returned. Please send letters in by April 5, 2024 to Terry Budlowski so we can organize the information over the break in preparation for our placement teams.

Have a good week,

David
