Announcements Monday 10/30/2023: 

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 October 30th, 2023.  Please stand for the pledge….

Reminder that costumes are not permitted tomorrow.

There will be no chess club tomorrow afternoon due to Halloween.  

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: In “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.”, who does Linus mistake for the Great Pumpkin?

Answer: Snoopy.

Class: Grandstaff.

Note: Linus faints after seeing a shadowy figure rise in the pumpkin patch, thinking that it’s the Great Pumpkin.  But it was only Snoopy, which makes Sally furious at Linus for making her miss out on all the Halloween fun to wait in the pumpkin patch.

Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
