I can’t believe another year has come and gone. The school is so quiet without all the chatter of students.
The last few days was packed with fun activities. Tuesday, 5th graders celebrated their graduation from elementary school. I enjoy seeing the students walk across stage to receive their certificates from me. As they peek around the curtain, you can see the excitement in their faces. This year, we also said good-bye to one of our 5th grade teachers, Mrs. Wiley. Lucky for us, she is just leaving the team and not the school. This is a strong group of students both academically and in their personal development. I know they will do well next year.
Students who received all 4s...
5th graders also decided to create a "Mural" as a way to leave their print at OHE. There are over 4500 thumb prints on the Class of 2013 Tree. Each new graduating class will be able to add another tree. A special thanks goes to Ms. Rettig, Karen Mauldin, Heather Sendera, and Geeta Suggs for their dedication and support this project.
Tuesday is also when most of the End-of-Year parties are held.

The 3-Ring Circus is a tradition at OHE. It is the last day of school and students rotate through 3 different events: Zumba, Lucas Miller, the science guy, and Roots and Rhythm. During this time, teachers have extra time in the classrooms to pack. This happens because of your generosity.
I also want to say thank you to those who are helping with the watering over the summer and for those who are feeding the chicks. If you see my car out front, stop by and say hi!
I will be out the first two and a half weeks of July. I’m headed to west Texas for some camping and hiking. If you need me for anything, just send me an email. That will be the best way to get in touch with me.
Have a wonderful and relaxing summer. See you August 23rd for Meet the Teacher.
