OB's Got Character!
We've successfully SOARed through another school year! The 2014-15 school year was the SORT of year we want to remember! Did your child share with you their SOARing Up experience? On Monday, students participated in Soar Up, a transition activity to help them learn a little bit more about how next year will be. Students had an opportunity to visit a classroom in the next grade level and hear from each one of that grade level's teachers a little bit about themselves, what they will learn next year, what special activities/events will take place, how the next grade level differs from the one they just completed and what teachers will expect from them next year. If you have not already, we encourage you to ask your child to share with you about what they learned!
Coming home today in Friday Folders, on bright orange paper, is a copy of our
annual SOARing Into Summer Calendar. To go along with May's Character Word of the Month, OPEN-MINDEDNESS, we are encouraging all families to be OPEN-MINDED about staying cool this summer while showing good character by participating in a character building activity each week in June and July. Please initial at the end of each week an activity is completed and return the calendar during the first week of school next year! Additional copies of the calendar are available in the front office and can also be accessed through our OB website.
Lost and Found
Parents, please don’t forget to check the Lost and Found, lost items have been hung up in the middle hallway. Also, be sure to check the office for small items like glasses, keys, or cell phones. All unclaimed items will be donated over the Summer.
