Happy Pi Day! Today, March 14th, is known as Pi Day since the first three digits of pi are 3.14.

Next week, students will be submitting course recommendations for the classes they will take for the 2025 - 2026 school year.

Students currently in Grades 6 & 7 will be completing the course recommendation process throughout the week during the school day in one of their classes. This will be completed during the school day in one of their classes.

Students currently in Grade 8 will complete this process on Friday, March 21st. SHS school counselors will be coming to OMS to support students during this process.

There was a great turnout at OMS's second Annual Family Math Night. It was wonderful to see students and families collaborating to solve various math riddles and puzzles. The different challenges, including breaking the codes, tangrams and the tower-building activity with pipe cleaners, were a hit! Many families thoroughly enjoyed the game stations featuring Connect 4, Uno, and Shut the Box.

As part of our school's PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) program, five students on each team are recognized as Students of the Month for demonstrating traits of readiness, responsibility, and respect. Each winner receives a certificate and a golden ticket (worth 5 tickets) which they can redeem for a prize on Ticket Tuesdays.

Congratulations to all of our February Students of the Month!
