A massive THANK YOU to our amazing community for a great turnout. Your support means the world to these young performers!

Last but certainly not least, a huge shoutout to Mr. Dan, our music teacher. Thank you for your patience, talent, and for inspiring a love of music in our students!

The OCSU PTCA in collaboration with the District Health Office Staff are kicking off a month-long wellness challenge for all students, staff and families! Today students will receive their Week 1 Challenge Card with a focus on nutrition. Directions to enter a raffle are included. Caregivers who wish to participate should contact their school office!

Did you know that fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins that help your body grow strong and stay healthy? Try to “eat the rainbow” by choosing fruits and vegetables of different colors each day. Each color provides different nutrients your body needs. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps keep your eyes healthy and supports good vision—especially in dim light!
