It’s Tuesday and that seems like a great time for Ms. Holley’s Healthy Habits: 

This one seems obvious but breathe…..

Taking a few deep breaths instantly lowers your levels of cortisol – your body’s main stress hormone. Make it deliberate - inhale deeply through your nose for the count of four, making sure that your belly is expanding, then exhale for a count of four.  Do this for a minute or so.  You can use this any time, whether you are in a moment of stress or not.

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

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 Wednesday, April 19th, 2023.  Please stand for the pledge…..

We need quiet in the hallways this morning as our 8th grade will be sitting their Science M-Step and then running a 2 hour delay schedule.

If you are interested in learning or practicing crochet or knitting we are considering starting a club after school.  There is a sign up sheet in the office if you are interested.

Middle school students are not permitted to be in the HS, the IC or hanging out in the hallway outside the IC at any time but especially in the morning.  If you are in any of these locations it earns an immediate disciplinary action.

Student Challenge will be held in Mr. Hazle’s classroom tomorrow morning @ 7:25am.  All are welcome!

Have a wonderful Wednesday everybody!  We’re halfway there so let’s make the rest of this week really count!
