Congratulations to Ovid-Elsie High School’s Student of the Week, freshman Kenlee W! Kenlee was nominated by Mr. Dahlke for her cheerful attitude even when facing challenges. She takes her education seriously even when she has to miss class for other activities such as volleyball, softball, or student council. In her free time, Kenlee enjoys painting, drawing, and reading. Her post-secondary plans include attending college to earn a degree in Interior Design. Way to be respectful, responsible, and your best, Kenlee!

A huge thank you to both our Boys Soccer and Boys Tennis Programs as they concluded their seasons last night! Thank you for representing O-E Athletics with character and integrity! We appreciate all of your hard work this Fall!
6th grade students went to the IC last week to complete a point of view scavenger hunt. They searched library books for books written with 1st person point of view, 2nd person point of view, and 3rd person point of view. Everyone had a great time!



The fifth graders in Miss Jones’ classroom discussed and read a book about the pumpkin life cycle. We created a “garden” in a jar for the pumpkin to go through all stages of life while students observe and record findings throughout the year. We started the process by making a hypothesis and then students got to paint their own pumpkins to decorate our classroom with!
