OCE PTA WANTS TO WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY HOLIDAY!
BUT...
BEFORE WE GO...
Dr. Steidinger Named NC North Central Region Principal of the Year!
The honor was announced at a surprise assembly this afternoon at the school. The entire student body, teachers and staff were joined by last year's 2019 NC Principal of the Year, Matt Bristow-Smith, who made the announcement, WCPSS Superintendent of Schools, Cathy Moore, and Dr. Steidinger's family among others.
Thanks to the hard work of Ms. May and the entire staff for pulling together the surprise assembly and keeping such a big secret the last few days! Big thanks as well to Mr. Williams and the 4th/5th Grade Chorus for putting together a beautiful performance for the assembly with just one rehearsal!

Happy holidays!
The OCE PTA wishes you all a lovely, restful, and fun holiday break with your families.
Remember, no school December 23 - January 1 for the holiday break.
This is the last Beacon of 2019. See you again in 2020!
