We are getting so excited for Halloween on Monday at OFRS! We can't wait. See you at the parade!
The Fairmount Fire Company visited with Kindergarten and First Grade Students at OFRS today to discuss fire safety. We learned about the importance of fire escape plans, practicing at home and school, and leaving the house right away. Children got to see and hear about the tools, gear and even inside of the truck!
Third grade students observe and compare characteristics of seeds and fruit. They discuss how seeds are alike and different.
The highly engaging and entertaining LEAD U group put on a terrific performance that focused on the importance of thinking for ourselves, handling conflict, recognizing our feelings, and learning how to regulate strong emotions. There was dancing, games, teacher performances, student performances, an actress dressed as a banana and lots of laughter and smiles!
We love our WT police officers! Thank you for keeping our community safe!
Mrs. Ciccone's first grade class had a very special mystery reader, Sgt. Oranchak. He shared the story of Officer Buckle and Gloria by Peggy Rathman. Students loved this entertaining story about the importance of safety.
Fifth grade students work with Mrs. Rojas and Sgt. Oranchak to STUFF THE BUS with our schoolwide collections for the LV Food Pantry. We are proud of our students' empathy and generosity and the positive impact they have made for our community.
Thank you Mr. Backer and Mrs. Radossich for teaching us all about bus safety!
