Principal’s Column
The week certainly had an exciting beginning: The second grade class had a special delivery from a farm in Pennsylvania—a dozen chicken eggs! The eggs are in an incubator and should hatch on Monday November 12. The students are learning about the life cycle of the egg; how chicks feed and drink; and why they need to be kept in the incubator until they hatch. All the classes will have the opportunity to visit and take a peek at the eggs…and hopefully the new chicks. I will keep you posted on their progress!
Preparations are already beginning for the school Christmas show, called Radio Joy. It will be held on Thursday night, December 13, at 7:00 pm in the gym. Children from Pre K 3 through the 4 th grade are part of the show, and I encourage you to mark your calendars to attend—it is always a wonderful way to get into the Christmas spirit!
The PTA and the School Board are busy putting the final touches on our Knight to Remember Gala which will be held at the Stone Terrace on Friday night, November 30. This is the school’s largest fundraiser, and we are very excited about it. You can find more information about it on our school website, www.olsschool.us, and if you are available, I invite you to attend. It promises to be a wonderful community evening.
The 8 th grade students had a visit from the STEM Academy this week. The Academy partners with Mercer County Community College to offer high school students a focus in science, technology, engineering, and math, with an activity and problem based curriculum. It is an option for our 8 th graders as they enter high school, and they were very interested to hear about the curriculum.
We are in the month of Thanksgiving, and each day I am so thankful for each day I share with these children and faculty. Please continue to keep us in your prayers!Peace & Blessings,
