The Mustang Minutes
Keeping Families Connected, One Stride at a Time.
We Are Off and Running!
As we wrap up our first five days of the 2026–2027 school year, I could not be more proud of the energy, excitement, and enthusiasm our mustangs have brought back to the building! It has been wonderful to see our hallways filled with smiling faces, friends reconnecting, and scholars beginning to build meaningful relationships with their teachers and classmates. The start of a new school year always brings a special kind of energy, and I am grateful to our scholars, families, and staff for helping us begin the year on such a positive note. There truly is no place like OLHMS!
Grab-and-Go Breakfast is available for purchase each morning! Scholars may purchase breakfast at the Walker Door, Bus Door, or in the Café before heading to their morning destination. Starting the day with a nutritious meal helps ensure our scholars are ready to learn, engage, and make the most of their school day.
As we move forward, I want our entire school community to know that we have high expectations for every scholar at OLHMS. We believe our scholars are capable of great things, and we will continue to challenge them to be responsible, respectful, engaged, and committed to their own growth. High expectations, however, go hand in hand with strong support. Our staff is committed to building meaningful relationships, providing the support scholars need, and creating learning environments where every student can thrive.
Thank you, families, for your continued partnership and support as we begin this exciting school year. We are looking forward to a year filled with growth, achievement, and mustang pride. Together, we will continue to show everyone why there is no place like OLHMS!
With appreciation,
Madalyn Laureto
