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 January 27th, 2020. Please stand for the pledge: I pledge allegiance to the flag …
This week’s Kindness Challenge is about forgiveness. This can be a hard one but it’s worth it. Sometimes the best way to be kind is to let it go when someone is not kind to you. Forgiveness brings peace to you and a second chance to the other person. A win-win!
A reminder that tomorrow is our last Show Your Pride Tuesday for January so wear your class colors. These are:
6th - blue (any shade), 7th - orange, 8th - black
