8th grade Language Arts students participated in the Grammar Olympics this week. They played games like spelling golf, subject-verb agreement bowling, context clue discus, punctuation long jump, infinitive/gerunds egg relay, and other fun grammar based games.
It is that time of year that we start to gear up for our Seniors to leave us and start their next chapter. The Counseling Department has a tradition of reaching out for letters and photos to be submitted to seniors that we can put in their Decision Day Swag Bags along with goodies from their chosen college/trade school/workplace and small gifts. If you know a senior (or 2 or 3!) you can submit letters to have put in their bags through a few avenues (please ensure it has the student's name on it!):
Email: autumn.winsor@ovidelsie.org
Mail to Autumn Winsor at the HS: 8989 E. Colony Rd., Elsie, MI 48831
Drop off at the High School office
Please have all items turned in by May 10th so we have time to organize and get them into the bags!
