As we return from Spring Break, our schools would like to invite you to join us in reviewing our core expectations: be respectful, be responsible, and be your best. We want to encourage our students to be a Marauder in and out of school. Our commitment to these values helps create a positive and inclusive learning environment for everyone. Please find more information at our PBIS website: www.ovidelsie.org/pbis
We had 80 amazing bookmarks submitted at OEMS! Our 1st place bookmark was designed by Zoe P, 2nd place was designed by Kylynn S, and 3rd place was designed by Raven P. Zoe's bookmark will be printed and distributed to the entire school!
There were many different opportunities for students to enjoy reading at the Middle School this month. We had two whole school silent reads, had a March Madness Book Bracket, and ran a bookmark competition. Thank you to all students and staff for making March is Reading Month successful!
We want to remind you about the new school speed zone that will be effective starting April 1, 2024, on Colony and Hollister Roads. The safety of our children is our top priority, and reducing speed in school zones helps ensure their well-being. https://5il.co/2gsds

Shining the spotlight on Student of the Week, sophomore McKenzie K! McKenzie, was nominated by two teachers, Mr. Migoski & Dr. Faziani! She was selected as this week’s student of the week because 'She is very energetic, positive, and brings a bright attitude to class everyday. She is always polite, asking questions, contributing to class discussions, and willing to do whatever to reach her potential.' and ‘Kenzie is always happy to be in class and extremely willing to engage in the material. She always offers to participate and is a natural leader among her peers. Her positive attitude is infectious and always makes the learning environment more comfortable, kind, and positive.’ She plays soccer and basketball for OEHS and travel soccer for Cap City. Last year she was a delegate representing Michigan at the World Food Prize Global Youth Institute in Iowa. After graduation, McKenzie plans to attend college for business and later become a Real Estate Agent.

PJ and Slipper Day for filling our Awesomeness Ten Frame and enjoying our classroom prize of popsicles for smashing our classroom reading goal of 110 books read by almost 50 books. I think if you’d ask these kindergarteners, they would say it is a great way to start off the week!
Leo the Lion is at it again at Leonard for March is Reading Month. Leo gave away more books for March is Reading Month. Check out these new book recipients!
If you haven't heard, THE CHICKS HAVE HATCHED! Thanks in part to MSU and the Shiawassee County Bureau, Mrs. Westenberg's Kindergarten Class was hatching some eggs. Check out these adorable chicks!
As part of March is Reading Month, the Shiawassee County Farm Bureau, in conjunction with our OE FFA and Miss Sandy Maynard, came to Leonard and read us a story called How to Grow a Monster. This fun story is about a Zucchini. Students got a learn more information about zucchinis and was able to hold a small zucchini. As an extension activity, students were also able to plant green beans to take home! Students also received an information card on corn and a word search! Thanks FFA and the Shiawassee County Farm Bureau!
Last week Thursday, we had a Mystery Listener at Leonard for March is Reading Month. Miss Danielle came into our classroom and listened to kiddos read. That was a pretty BIG DEAL for our Kindergartners. They did a great job and Miss Danielle was impressed!
Last Friday, as part of our PBIS at Leonard, we had MAD SCIENTIST! Students worked in partners and placed 30 Skittles on a small paper plate. One partner added cold water to the middle of their plate and the other partner added warm/hot water to their plate. Students had many hypotheses. Check out our outcome! The kiddos had a GREAT time (and got to eat 5 leftover Skittles). Thanks for creating this fun lesson, Mrs. Snelling!
At Leonard, Jasper's Mom came into our classroom last Thursday as another Mystery Reader for March is Reading Month! She read Little Excavator, How to Catch a Leprechaun and Hello Ninja!
Please review a communication regarding the new school zone that will go into effect on April 1, 2024 on Hollister and Colony Roads https://5il.co/2gsds
