5k Run - A great finish to the week!
It is finally feeling like spring, and the kids loved a chance to be outside and participate in a school wide event together. It is amazing the grit and perseverance our students can show. I was so impressed with their endurance, drive and encouragement of others today!
A big thank you to Mrs. Amundson for all the work she put in to make this possible!
Enjoy the weekend! Be RED!

TIGER TARGET: I can be a problem solver.
1. Identify there is a problem.
2. Create a plan (Use your words, use your feet, use your words again)
3. Execute the plan. Do Something. Doing nothing adds to the problem.
4. Reflect. Come up with a new plan.
Support our School Garden Project on May 16
On May 16, we are having a gardening event in partnership with Scott Carver County. Each OC student will have the chance to learn a little bit about plants from a master gardener. Then they will contribute to the planting of our vegetable gardens behind our school.
We are looking for families to donate plants and/or seeds to this event. Please use this form to see what types of vegetables we are looking to collect and pledge a donation. Donations will be collected on May 13, the Friday before the event. One suggestion is that students may choose to start growing seeds in advance at home, and then we will transfer them to the garden at school.
