Jump Rope for Heart
Students in grades K-5 are again participating in Jump Rope for Heart through the American Heart Association. Part of their physical education experience teaches that movement isn't just fun--it keeps Vikings and their loved ones healthy.
Jumping will take place during phys ed classes on Wednesday, June 8 and as part of Field Days on Thursday, June 9. Envelopes have been sent home with students for donations, or families can sign up their student for online donations here.
Funds go to to the American Heart Association to fund their research and education programs, and to OVCS for PE equipment. Students also collect donations for prizes that will be given out before the end of school.
Thank you for participating, and for keeping your and your families' hearts healthy.
Elementary Field Day
Our annual Field Days will be held on Thursday, June 8th, 2017. The *rain date* is Friday, June 9th, 20017. Students should be sure to wear sneakers that can be tied tightly and attire that is appropriate for a physically active day.
Students may bring their own lunch or get a cafeteria lunch. Water will also be supplied and students will be encouraged to use and refill their water bottles throughout the day.
Lastly, we urge all students to wear some sort of sun screen for this hopefully sunny event. It must be applied before the student arrives to school. Please do not send a bottle of sunscreen with your student to school as it is considered a medication.
We hope to have a fun and event filled day!
Cordially,
Justin Barlow
Physical Education Teacher
Awards Ceremony for Grades 7-12

Donuts for Dads at last Morning Program on MONDAY, June 19
This day is extra special because we will offer "Donuts for Dads," the Father's Day-related treat for dads, grandpas, and more. We previously celebrated "Muffins for Moms," a tradition brought forward from the Georgetown school. It was a great day, and we hope everyone will enjoy Donuts for Dads as well.
