Student-led, student-created, made for OMS! Mrs. Harmon’s OMS Journalism students are hard at work putting together their very first newscast! From planning and writing to filming and production, students are taking the lead as they learn what it takes to bring a newscast to life.

Their finished production will be shared with all OMS students, giving these young journalists a real audience for their work and a chance to help tell the stories of their school!

What happens to pollution when wind and water get involved? Mrs. Sylvester’s 5th-grade scientists put it to the test! Students created gusts of wind and water currents to observe how far “model” plastic pollution could travel.

The hands-on investigation is part of their study of Earth’s water and the impact microplastics can have on keeping our water clean. By testing, observing, and making connections, these students are seeing how forces in nature can move pollution far beyond where it started.

A little throwback to when Mrs. Hesser’s 2nd-grade Coffee Shop first opened for the year!

Her students kicked off the school year with a special coffee shop-inspired treat: chocolate milk with the fixings... because when your classroom has a coffee shop theme, you have to celebrate accordingly!

Mrs. Hesser’s Coffee Shop is officially open for business and serving up learning, laughter, and plenty of fun all year long.

Sometimes OG Nation gets a little… Looney! Mrs. Sylvester, a 5th-grade science teacher, got quite the surprise when Taylor showed up with matching Sylvester the Cat shirts for the two of them!

It’s a small moment, but a great example of what makes our schools special. Relationships and belonging matter. Our staff and students enjoy learning and growing together, making everything more fun!

Morning Drop-Off Safety Reminder

To ensure the safety of all students during morning arrival, we ask for your cooperation with the following drop-off procedures:

Use the circle drive only for quick drop-off. Please remain in your vehicle and do not park in the circular drive at any time.

If you use the parking lot, you must park in a designated stall. Children should exit the vehicle only after you have parked.

All students walking from the parking lot must use the crosswalk to safely reach the school building.

Do not use the parking lot as a drive-through drop-off area without parking your vehicle.

Morning drop-off can be chaotic, and student safety is our number one priority. Following these procedures helps keep traffic moving smoothly and, most importantly, keeps our students safe. A photo is attached for your reference.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our school community safe.

Last week, Prairie View kindergarten, first grade, and second grade teams came together for their fall data dives. Classroom teachers, Title I teachers, and special education teachers worked side by side to look at student needs, celebrate strengths, and develop comprehensive plans to help every learner grow. At Prairie View Elementary, supporting students is a team effort. When educators collaborate, share ideas, and bring their expertise to the table, we create stronger teams and more opportunities for every student to succeed and thrive. That’s the power of working together for kids! #CultureOfConfidence
