HUGE Moon Map
In March, Ms. Sturdivant and Ms. Kasyan attended training for the new Huge Moon Map which our school will be getting through grants. Exciting plans are underway for a cross-curricular experience with sixth grade students in the future.

7th Grade Science Research Lessons
In early March students in Ms. Krasutsky's and Mr. Cooper's science classes came to the library to learn how to use Destiny Collections when they researched for a genetics project.
Mr. Fadel's Classes Participate in Digital Citizenship Lessons
In early March, Mr. Fadel brought all of his social studies classes to the library for a digital citizenship lesson on digital drama. Students explored ways to deal with digital drama in their lives at home and at school.
Guest Speaker for CTE
Tori Duval, of the Western North Carolina Nature Center, visited OMS to speak with students in Ms. Venturella's and Ms. Hawkins' classes in early March.
Poetry Cafe
Students in Ms. Langlois' and Mr. Feste's attended a Poetry Cafe in our library in early March. Students were served different flavors of poems and explored the poems looking for poetic devices.

In an attempt to make biographies more accessible to students and staff, we reorganized by categories including: Sports Biographies, Entertainer Biographies, Current American Biographies, World Biographies, Scientist Biographies, Historical American Biographies, and others.
