Mrs. Amanda Estess is the New Hope (OCR) Family Desegregation Advisory Committee representative and point of contact. The DAC has installed black boxes outside of the front door of our county schools; these boxes are intended to encourage communication between our community families and the DAC. Mrs. Estess checks these boxes periodically and wants to encourage families to reach out to her with any questions, concerns, or comments for the DAC.

Are you up for a Math Challenge!?!?! Find out more below:
What’s this challenge all about?
This challenge is meant to help students make connections between math and the world around them - plus, the school with the most participation wins a banner for their school! How fun would it be for our kiddos to see that!!
Here’s how it works:
Students will take pictures of math they see daily in the world around them. Using the QR code from the flyer below, students (with the help of a parent or guardian) will upload their picture under their grade level. Students should add "Owens Cross Roads School" and a simple explanation as to how they see the math. Submissions will be posted on the padlet as they are approved! (Photos are public).
*** link to the padlet is HERE
We hope all of our kids participate in this challenge!
Of course - we would also LOVE to see any photos in the comments, too! Show us how you see and use math in your daily lives - post your photos on our Facebook page post!
See the Flyer Below for ALL the details about the Color Run!
