Today is the start of Teacher Appreciation Week.  We have so much to be thankful for here at OE.  Your teachers have always gone above and beyond for their students but this year has brought a new level of need for creativity and dedication and they have met that challenge over and over.  Today is a good day to thank a teacher!

Speaking of Student Council, they have 2 great contests for all of you wrapping up today. Today is the LAST DAY to turn in your entries for the mask decorating contest. You can use pencil, colored pencil, markers, or even digital art. Get your cut-out mask to your 1st hour teacher OR Mrs. Willbanks by 3:00 today. If you need a clean paper copy of the mask design, we have plenty in the office. The creative writing contest also ends today, & that can be turned in digitally by 3:00 to the link provided on the flyer. Only 7 have been turned in so far!

Quote: “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” Anne Frank

Don’t wait friends! Start improving the world.  Sometimes all it takes is a smile, a kind word or even NOT saying whatever is on your mind.
