Since the
rain is coming down while I write this blog, I’ll take the time to remind you
about the importance of raincoats, boots, and/or umbrellas. There are many times throughout the day
students might walk in the rain. Loading
the buses is definitely one of them.
Keeping a little rain poncho in the backpack is a great idea.
Along with
all the wonderful rain, we have also been transitioning two new teachers to
OHE. Karen Spruce is our new 5th
grade teacher. She is coming to us from
Barringtion Elementary where she taught 5th grade math. Prior to that, she taught 4th
grade math and science. She will be part
of our new 3-way rotation with Ms. Osio and Mrs. Petty. Her 5th grade class starts
Monday. Denise Reynoso is our new 2nd
grade teacher. She is coming to us from Lucy
Read where she just began teaching Pre-kindergarten. 2nd grade letters will go out
Monday letting families know of the new position and identifying which students
will be in the class. Her class will
begin on Wednesday.
It is that
time of year for PTA Reflections. This is typically not a required activity for
most students, but students are highly
encourage to participate. The theme this
year is Dream, Believe, Inspire and the students can do a multitude of
different projects types. Check out this link for more information, http://ohepta.org/Reflections.html
.
Some of the
classes held Student Council representative elections this week other classes
will complete them next week. From those
representatives elected in class, the officer candidates will be found. Student council is a great asset to our
school. We encourage students to
participate.
We also
finished our “Celebrate Freedom Week”.
Each day during morning announcements, Mr. Cumings would read important
facts related to our US Constitution. We
ended the week with the 5th graders singing a song related to the
constitution.
