Ovid-Elsie Area Schools

Athletics - Week of 10/24/22

OEMS will be having a coin drive this week. All proceeds will go to Homeless Angels of Owosso. On Wednesday, Oct. 26th we will also have a spirit day. Students are encouraged to wear UofM or MSU colors.

Due to the loss of our dear friend and colleague Scott Sheedlo, Ovid-Elsie Area Schools will be closed on Tuesday, October 25th to allow staff and students time to pay their respects. Preschool will be closed, childcare will still be available at Leonard.

Good luck to our Varsity Football Team tonight. Tonight is also Senior Night. Also, good luck to our HS/MS Cross Country & JV Volleyball teams tomorrow. Go Marauders!

The CCRESA Career Expo is BACK! We will be taking our 8th and 10th grade students to participate in a career pathway exploration at Dewitt HS on November 2nd. Students will get hands-on experience and find out what it is really like working in the different fields! MS Parents - be on the lookout for a permission slip coming home this week. HS Parents - if you would like to opt OUT your student from this trip, let the front office know.

Good luck to our Freshman/JV/Varsity Volleyball teams tonight! Go Marauders!

Athletics - Week of 10/17/22

October is National Bullying Prevention Month! Our school counselor has been visiting classrooms, talking about the importance of being kind to one another and “stomping out bullying”. On Wednesday, October 19th, students and our community are welcome to wear orange for Unity Day. Why Orange? This color is described as warm and inviting. Also, it is commonly associated with safety, visibility, and protection. This day celebrates and promotes kindness, acceptance and inclusion. We continue to promote kindness daily on campus through our kindness referrals and weekly recognition on our Friday morning announcements.

Good luck to our Varsity Football team tonight. Go Marauders!
