Bonjour! Fifth grade students in Mrs. Flanagan's class write letters to their "Friends in France" each Friday.

Today we visited with the Post "1776" American Veterans Association of Washington Twp. to discuss our upcoming Veterans Day Flag Raising Ceremony. Mark your calendar for 9:15am on November 3rd to join us in honoring our local Veterans. Students have a wonderful plan in place.

A walk down the beautiful hallways of OFRS!

Mrs. Kerpez is our wonderful Library-Technology teacher at OFRS. She prides herself in learning the genres and books that inspire individual students to develop a love of reading. Her excitement is contagious!

Both families and teachers were thrilled to be face-to-face and altogether for Back to School Night! Kudos to our teachers and their fabulous presentations.

Nurse Braithwaite and Mrs. Ressland review healthy choices with students such as hand washing, healthy eating, exercise and more. We are thankful for our health heroes here at school!

Our 5th grade morning announcers shared an interesting fact about the Autumn Equinox today. Today the sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward. An old legend tells us that you can balance an egg upright on the Equinox. We had success balancing an egg in the main office today. Will it balance on other days of the year? We will have to experiment.

Mrs. Burns gathers her students for an energizing and engaging morning activity that gets students thinking as a team and prepared for learning!

Mrs. Poggi's class is using math manipulatives to learn the concept of regrouping with multi-digit subtraction. The use of base ten blocks taps into students visual and tactile learning styles so that they can fully understand the how and why behind the regrouping process.

First grade friends are participating in a fun color scavenger hunt activity that gets them up and and moving to and from the carpet. Every child is included and feels like part of a team!

Students greet each other by name as they pass the ball around the Morning Meeting circle. Teachers explain the importance of making eye contact with one another.

First Graders are doing a fun mirror partner activity during their morning meeting. They are really feeling in sync with one another.
