Announcements Week of 04/29/2019

Good Morning staff and students welcome back to Ovid-Elsie Middle School where we are inspiring life-long learners to achieve their full potential and excel in a changing world. Today is Monday April 29th, 2019.  Please stand for the pledge: I pledge allegiance to the flag …

  • This week’s Kindness Challenge comes directly from the comedian Ellen DeGenres:  Be funny but be kind.  Ellen states, “Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody else's expense. And I find that that's just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody else's feelings.”.

  • The track team will be heading to Durand tonight.  Early release at 2:20

  • Ella P, Braydon K and Carter K all had birthdays over the weekend!  Hope that you had a fantastic birthday guys! Have a great day on your birthday today Hailee C!  Happy Birthday!!
