It's going to take more than a snowstorm to take down the OMS community! We heard so many wonderful stories of our student and staff families helping one another with the snow and power outages. Yet one more example of why we are lucky to live and work in this community. Glad to hear that most of our families are back in their homes with power. Of course, our students made the most of the snow during recess. See for yourselves in the slideshow below. Yesterday, Ms. Davis and I enjoyed a team building activity, Fire Brigade, with our entire 3rd grade. The students learned the importance of listening, encouraging, supporting, and celebrating during their challenge.

We hope you have a restful weekend!

We’ll explore some effects of air pressure, then design, build, and test gliders.

Session 3: Viscosity of Oil and Paper Chromatography

Which team of students will successfully solve these challenges?

Session 4: Epidemic and Storm the Castle!
