Announcements Monday November 2nd, 2026:
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 2nd, 2026. Please stand for the pledge…..
It’s Marauder Community & Culture in 4th hour today.
MSU vs U of M coin battle is raging through Thursday. We have collection jugs in the lobby. Put coins in the team’s jug that you root for. Put paper bills in the jug that you DO NOT want to win. Coins are worth their cent value for your team. Paper bills take points AWAY from the other team. For example if you are a MI fan and are feeling mischievous put $10 into the MSU bottle and you have taken 1000 points AWAY from the MSU total! Start gathering your coins and dollars!
The district is doing a coat drive. Gently worn coats can be put into the box in the lobby.
We also have a box for Toys for Tots. Please consider purchasing a new, unwrapped toy to help out kids, like you, to have a great Christmas.
