We are excited about a special opportunity at Owatonna Middle School. We are hosting the Courage Retreat workshop for our 7th grade students, which will focus on the value of courage. Youth Frontiers Incorporated of Minneapolis will present the workshop. This non-profit organization has been working with students in grades K-12 for over 20 years providing workshops on important values such as kindness, courage and respect. Their purpose is to build the character of young people, and by doing so they work to improve the climate of schools. OMS has hosted this retreat for 7th graders for a number of years, and we are looking forward to a wonderful opportunity for learning and building school community. This workshop will be held at Owatonna Middle School on October 6 and October 7. The workshop will run from 8:45-2:15 each day. Students will eat lunch here at school just like a normal school day.
We encourage parents and caregivers to talk with their students about the workshop experience once they return home. Thank you for your support of OMS as we strive to build and support exceptional character in our students.
Overdue notices for library materials are sent every Wednesday. Please encourage your student to return or renew any materials as soon as possible. A great time to stop by is before first period (7:35-7:50am). All fees can be paid via Infinite Campus. Please contact Mrs. Smith with any concerns or questions.
