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 November 10th, 2025. Please stand for the pledge…..
FFA fruit and nut orders are due Wednesday. Also there will be a meeting on Thursday at 7:30am before school in Mrs Miller’s room to discuss the leadership contest.
It is a PBIS week peeps!!! The focus this week is on appropriate hallway behavior. I know the rules can seem like overkill sometimes but you have to remember that we are in a school of almost 300 people and behaviors which don’t seem like a big deal in a group of 4-5, can cause injuries when there are 300 people walking the halls.
Reminder students are not permitted in the hallways during lunch. Bring everything you need to the cafeteria - water bottles, snacks, etc.

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: What geyser in Yellowstone National Park is known for erupting roughly every 90 minutes?
Answer: Old Faithful
Class: Mrs. Miller
Note: Old Faithful is one of nearly 500 geysers in Yellowstone and one of six that park rangers currently predict. It is uncommon to be able to predict geyser eruptions with regularity and Old Faithful has lived up to its name, only lengthening the time between eruptions by about 30 minutes in the last 30 years.
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
