Mrs. Murray’s Kindergarten has been busy on a sweet adventure! 🍪📚 We enjoyed reading different versions of The Gingerbread Man, followed his travels through each story as well as heard of his travels through mail, and even made our very own gingerbread man. What a great way to bring literacy, creativity, and learning together!

Last Friday, OE middle schoolers had a blast at a holiday dance/party after school. There was dancing, open gym, and a candy game. Thanks to Student Council for putting it on, and all the staff and parents who helped chaperone!

Congratulations to Ovid-Elsie High School’s Student of the Week, sophomore Kaela!
Kaela was nominated by Mr. Migoski saying, “I am nominating Kaela because she consistently embodies respect, responsibility, and her personal best every single day in my classroom. She is always polite, asks thoughtful questions, and submits her work on time. Kaela is an absolute joy to have in class. She has even fully embraced my habit of greeting her with “Good morning” at 1 p.m.—and makes sure to greet me the same way if I happen to forget. Her positivity, reliability, and kindness truly make our classroom a better place.” Kaela is a dedicated student-athlete who has played soccer for six years—five with Cap City and one with OE. She’s equally committed in the classroom, earning a 4.0 GPA her freshman year. While she hasn’t fully decided on her plans after graduation, Kaela hopes to pursue a career in Pediatric Occupational Therapy. This recognition is a testament to your Marauder character, demonstrating what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and always striving to Be Your Best!
