OEHS students attended the Fall BPA Leadership Conference at Michigan State.
Congratulations to Ovid-Elsie High School’s Student of the Week, sophomore Alexis L! Alexis was nominated by her art teacher, Mrs. Kellogg because she comes to class every single day with a positive attitude and is a great role model for our school motto of being ‘respectful, responsible and her best!’. Alexis is caring and kind-hearted to everyone around her. She is helpful; never expecting any rewards or praise for doing so. She came to Ovid-Elsie this year from Wisconsin where she previously played volleyball. She keeps busy tending to her 4 horses, that she enjoys riding in her free time. Alexis also works on a cattle farm and after graduation, she plans to attend college to pursue something in agriculture. She says she’s thankful for being chosen as the Student of the Week and for Mrs. Kellogg for recognizing her!
Thank you to Kingsley Insurance Group in St Johns for their generous donation to Ovid-Elsie FFA. Their grant will help cover transportation costs for members to participate in leadership events. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Today 10th grade students were given a presentation by coordinators from CCRESA about all of the amazing programs available to them next year.

Our School Counselor Mrs. Alexander and our School Nurse Mrs. Jones joined forces to teach this month’s lesson “Fair doesn’t always mean Equal”. Equal is the same for everyone no matter the situation but the students learned equal doesn’t always meet whatever the need make be. Giving a bandage to a person with a cut is the correct solution but a bandage for a bloody nose or a food allergy will not solve or help the problem. There must be other options.
This week during Math, Mrs. Sturdivant's Kindergarten friends focused on measurement! Students use different measuring tools to measure classroom items. Students also practiced with the Math terms "longer than vs. shorter than" and "taller than vs. shorter than". Great work friends!
Reminder, no school tomorrow - Wednesday, November 15, 2023
Wishing all hunters good luck and be safe!
On Election Day, Miss Loynes first graders read the book "I Voted" and learned about the importance of having a voice in decisions. They saw firsthand how every vote counts, even in a fun cookie election. This activity gave them a clear understanding of the value of their vote.
