Announcements Monday 05/06/2024: 

Good morning staff and students!  Welcome 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 May 6th, 2024.  Please stand for the pledge…..

It is Teacher Appreciation Week!!  You will see some tropical themed items in the hallways for the TAW activities.  Please do not touch these!  Take a little time over the next few days to thank your middle school staff for being in your lives and working so hard to teach, inspire and care for you.

Please check the lost and found for your belongings.

We have 6th grade math MSTEP tomorrow.  Please get an early night, eat a good breakfast and be here, ready to go, before 7:55am.  We will need quiet in the hallways but y’all are pros at that by now!

The Spring Band Concert is 6-7pm tomorrow night.  Why not come out and support your school band and hear some great music?!  

And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:

Question: Who was the 2nd man on the Moon?

Answer: Buzz Aldrin

Class: Miller.

Note: On July 20, 1969, Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle.  Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface. Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later, and they spent about two and a quarter hours together exploring the site they had named Tranquility Base upon landing. 

Have a marvelous Monday everybody!

I’m feeling the need for a little inspiration this morning.  Sometimes it can feel like everything is overwhelming; too much to do, too little time and too much self-doubt but just remember that everything that you can do right now is because you were able to learn how to do it; you tried; you made the effort and you practiced.  You’ve got this people!

Have a terrific Tuesday everybody and remember it may not be easy but it will definitely be worth it!
