Thriving Together Through Gratitude and Recognition

From an incredible SOAR fundraiser success to meaningful moments of appreciation across our school, our community continues to show what it means when we come together to thrive.

Heartfelt Thanks!
I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude for the 450 supporters who helped raise $23,703 through our Double Good popcorn fundraiser. $11,851 goes directly to our SOAR Program! Your support helps us celebrate students and staff who model respect, kindness, and academic effort.

SOAR (Students/Staff Over Achieving Recognition) is more than awards. It’s about highlighting role models, fostering community, and celebrating those who go above and beyond. From weekly Caught Being Good drawings to our Student of the Month program and the annual SOAR Day, our students and staff shine together.

Thank you for helping us lift up our community and recognize excellence, SOAR wouldn’t be possible without you!

Additionally, this week we celebrated National Adjustment Counselors Week. Thank you to our incredible adjustment counselors for the compassion and care they provide every day. We are also grateful to the students who took the time to write heartfelt notes and share how these counselors have made a positive impact on their lives.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Shattuck

Working Together: Middle School Student Behavior at After School Events Working Together: Middle School Student Behavior at After School Events

When middle school students attend after-school events at Overlook or Oakmont, they are expected to follow the same behavior expectations as during the school day. Students should focus on watching the event they are attending and cheering on our teams respectfully.

Thank you for helping us support our athletes and create a positive environment for all participants and fans!

💡 Fly Higher Tip 💡 Fly Higher Tip

Words have power—use them to lift others up!

As we cheer on our teams and interact with friends, remember that the language we choose matters. Avoid saying things that hurt others, including comments about race, identity, or sexuality. Together, we can create a school where everyone feels safe, included, and respected.
