Summer Program Classes Enjoyed a Great First Year!
Classic Camp
The rookie year of Classic Camp was packed with fun! Our 5th and 6th grade campers got to test out the brand-new OMS playground, perform fun science experiments, get creative with arts and crafts (notice our awesome tie-dye shirts pictured!), cool off with water games, and participate in other classic camp activities.
Camp Collab
Camp Collab was packed with creativity, curiosity, and collaborative fun! Throughout the week, campers explored science, engineering, and nature through hands-on themed challenges that sparked imaginations and encouraged teamwork.
We dove into Ocean Exploration Day by building erosion-proof sandcastle fortresses, experimenting with water density to understand ocean layers, and creating colorful coral reefs while learning how to protect marine life.
Camping Chaos Day had students designing tents, canoes, and hammocks—plus crafting custom duct tape water bottle holders to stay hydrated on their "camping" adventures. We capped off the day with solar oven nachos and s’mores, proving that science can be delicious!
Next came the wildly inventive Popsicle Problem-Solving Palooza, where campers made bird feeders and popsicle harmonicas (with a hilarious performance of Hot Cross Buns), built contraptions to keep popsicles frozen—or melt them as fast as possible—and engineered towering frozen structures in the staff lounge freezer!
The fun concludes with Slime Time, a day filled with sticky, silly experiments like Oobleck Races, Lego Slime Volcanoes, and Gushing Geysers. Campers will even whip up and taste test edible slime made from gummy bears, powdered sugar, and corn starch.
From sweet snacks to scientific challenges, Camp Collab has been an unforgettable adventure filled with laughter, learning, and lots of messy hands!
Summer Band
Students in Summer Band enjoyed private lessons with Mrs. Czekay. This summer band lesson program provided instrumental music students with continued instruction and enrichment during the summer break to support skill retention, musical growth, and preparation for the upcoming school year.
Engineering Adventures
Students in Engineering Adventures had an action packed week building towering skyscrapers, designing bridges, launching amazing flying machines, discovering the secrets of simple machines, creating their very own invention from recycled materials, and engineering devices for an egg drop challenge.
New Hallway Mural at OMS!
Many thanks to Lindsay Hauenstein and Stephanie McMullen for creating a beautifully striking mural in the OMS C-Wing hallway!
Dedication Ceremony for Vicki Shoemaker
On Wednesday, August 27th, the Tabernacle Township School District held a special dedication ceremony in honor of Vicki Shoemaker for her many years of service as both a beloved teacher and a valued member of the Board of Education. To commemorate her lasting impact, a beautiful mural created by artists Lisa and Gabby Henske and a plaque were unveiled at Tabernacle Elementary School. The ceremony was a heartfelt tribute celebrating Vicki’s dedication to the students, staff, and community of Tabernacle.
Take care of yourself, others, and our community!
