Family Update

Happy Friday, Davis Families!

We have quite a bit of fun planned for next week to go along with the wrap of the first half of the year. While some of our students will be preparing for and taking exams, others will be finalizing projects and giving presentations. For a break from their hard work, we will be having fun in Irish Period in competition for the spirit stick that will be awarded to the winning IP during our all school pep assembly on Friday. Our student council has planned an awesome spirit week -- themes are below!

Please see the important note below about our lost and found. We have also announced this to the students!

Who knows if the weather reports will hold true, but if so, stay safe, dry, and warm this weekend!

🥶⛄

Have a great weekend!

Go Irish!

Jaime

Make sure your students know the themes so they can get involved and earn points for their Irish Period for the pep rally on Friday! 🎉👏💚

Ohio Wesleyan University’s OWL Camp is a summer program designed specifically for gifted and talented students in grades 5–8. Campers choose four hands-on classes in areas like science, math, technology, creative arts, and problem-solving, and they also enjoy fun activities such as games, crafts, movie nights, and a camp dance.

OWL offers both overnight sessions (for current 6th–8th graders) and day camp sessions (for current 5th–6th graders). It’s a great chance for students to meet new friends, explore their interests, stretch their thinking, and experience a small taste of college life in a supportive, engaging environment.
