Principal Message

Dear Families,

As another school year closes, we could not be more grateful for the amazing community at OMS. There are so many moments during the year that make us proud of the students we work with every day. From the first day of the year to the last, the growth our students make is remarkable because of the work they put in every day to be their best selves. The last day of school is always bittersweet. Thank you for partnering with us this year, and we look forward to welcoming back our owls in the fall.

Have a great weekend,

Erin, Julia, and the OMS Staff

Summer Reading!

Make Reading Part of Your Summer Adventure!

Summer is a wonderful time for kids to relax, explore new interests, and enjoy a little extra free time. It’s also the perfect opportunity to keep reading skills strong while discovering stories that inspire.

Research shows that even a few minutes of reading each day can help children maintain and grow their literacy skills over the summer months. Best of all, summer reading doesn’t have to feel like homework! Whether your child enjoys graphic novels, mysteries, nonfiction, fantasy, or read-alouds with family, there’s a book for every reader.

To help families get started, our district librarians have created lists of recommended books for students of all ages and interests. Please visit the OMS LMC summer reading webpage to learn more.
