A huge thank you to "54 Oblong" for purchasing a new basketball goal for our Jr. High recess area! OES was awarded the Summer 2022 grant and our area is now ready for play! The students are getting good use out of the new equipment on these beautiful days! Pictured below are members from 54 Oblong with OES staff and students.
Grade School Yearbooks are here! If you ordered your student a yearbook, they should be coming home with your student today. We have extras that will be offered to 8th grade students first. If your 8th grader would like to purchase a yearbook, please bring $20 to the office by Friday. If we still have extras on Monday, they will be available to any student who did not previously purchase a yearbook.
Beta Club presented their Spring service project donation to Lydia's Closet last week. Pictured is Diann Bomer and Jr. High Beta Club students.
2nd graders received their May Scholastic Book Club book! Thank you to our generous donors!
