Dear Oak Ridge Families,
I am so proud of the display of respect our students showed our Veterans today. So many teachers, staff, and students created projects, thank you cards, help serve breakfast, put together gifts, songs, speeches and much more to say thank you to our Veterans during the assembly. Most importantly, I am proud of the respect our students showed the guest speakers during the assembly. Thank you for instilling this respect in our children.
This week, our 1st grade students worked with STEM bins to encourage creative thinking, teamwork, and cooperation while inventing and creating.
