OC Elementary Principal's Update

Get ready, agents! We are celebrating Read Across America Week with a fun “Top Secret” theme from March 2–6! Students will enjoy engaging literacy activities all week long as we celebrate the joy of reading.

Join the fun by participating in our daily dress-up days:

🕵️ Monday – Mystery Monday

Wear your best disguise to avoid detection by the sleuths!

👔 Tuesday – Reading “Ties Us Together”

Wear your best detective gear, including your favorite neck tie, bolo tie, or hair tie!

🧦 Wednesday – Secret Code Wednesday

Wear comfy clothes and cozy socks to help you solve the secret code!

🌈 Thursday – Bright Ideas Catch the Spies!

We’ve solved the case! Wear your brightest clothes and sunglasses to celebrate!

📖 Friday – No School Friday!

Celebrate by reading at home!

We can’t wait to see everyone participate as we make this a week full of mystery, imagination, and reading fun!

Get ready for Book Blast beginning Tuesday, March 3rd! We’re teaming up with Books Are Fun to put exciting, brand-new books into the hands of every student and help build their home libraries. Each child will receive age-appropriate books they’ll love, and every contribution goes directly toward books and classroom resources. Be on the lookout in your email for additional details! Students will bring home a Treasure Map—completing it means fun prizes and even more books. We can’t wait to blast off into reading together!

Congratulations to the following 5th and 6th graders for competing in the Burt County Spelling Bee: Garrison Woods, Laney Mlinar, Auna Hansen, Dwayne Basilio, Preston Dockhorn, Hayden Shada, and (not pictured) Monroe Johnson. We are so proud of their hard work, dedication, and courage to compete. Participating in the spelling bee takes preparation, confidence, and perseverance, and these students did an outstanding job representing our school community.

The 3rd Quarter ends on Thursday, March 5th. We are proud of the hard work our students have shown throughout this grading period! Report cards will be sent home with students on Tuesday, March 10th. Please be sure to review your child’s progress and reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions. Thank you for your continued support in making this school year a success!

Congratulations to our Student of the Month! Amelia Brands has demonstrated outstanding effort, positive attitude, and strong character both in and out of the classroom. We are proud of her hard work and the example she sets for others. Keep up the great work!

Our collection of lost eyeglasses in the office keeps growing! If your student is missing a pair of glasses, please stop by the office to take a look—we would love to help reunite them with their glasses.
