Students in Mr. Kenkel's microbiology lab had a task to submit a pure culture and identify the type of bacteria (cocci, bacillus, spirillum) and whether the bacteria were gram-positive or gram-negative using the Gram stain, which is a procedure to determine what type of antibiotic could be used to neutralize the bacteria.

The first and second graders have been "heart" at work in the music room for the past two weeks. They have been using heartbeat strips to write their own rhythm patterns. After some practice, they joined four strips together to write a four-measure rhythm composition. When they mastered clapping the song, they played it on a bass bar. The final step was moving to the xylophone and matalophone instruments to turn the rhythm into a melodic composition. We love hearing the music that they created!

Mrs. Coggins and some Kindergarten students are head over heels to be at school!
They are demonstrating an example of “heavy work.” Heavy work benefits young and older learners in many ways, including self-regulation and feeling calmer. It is also proven to strengthen muscles, aid body awareness, improve clarity, focus, and alertness, and extend one’s attention span.

At the February OPSD School Board meeting, the board honored 3 model students! These students have shown what it means to do things “The OG Way.” They are risk-takers in and out of the classroom. They show grit in all they do. And they take ownership of their learning. We are so proud of our February students of the month, Ridley Cone (elementary), Jagger Barnhill (middle grades), and Hailey Webber (high school). Keep up the great work!
We greatly appreciate our community sponsors for donating prizes for these individuals to honor their accomplishments!
