Each year, on the Tuesday of the first full week of May, National Teacher Appreciation Day is recognized. We couldn’t let this day pass by without taking a moment to recognize and thank all of the dedicated teachers and staff who are the backbone of our educational community. Thank you for having a positive impact!

Every year, students in Ms. Downs' class participate in a Picture Book March Madness Tournament! They read a collection of 32 picture books and make Final Four and Book of the Year predictions. After reading, they vote, vote, vote until their champion is named. The 2024 Book of the Year is... Llama Destroys the World!

On Thursday, April 18, OES hosted more than 35 first grade families in their first ever Moving Up Night. The evening consisted of a brief welcome in the Media Center, followed by student and family breakouts. The students went with OES teachers for an activity while the adult family members gained insight into different aspects of OES, such as learning targets, pick-up/drop-off routines, building layout, etc. The culminating activity had students reconnecting with their families for a scavenger hunt where they visited specific classrooms and staff, providing a chance to become familiar with the building and interact with adults they will see next year. As students completed each portion of the scavenger hunt, they received a “goodie” and could turn their completed hunt in for a Class of 2035 keychain made in our School District of Omro Fab Lab! The event was planned by the District’s Home Visit team, which focuses on building engagement between schools and families.
