NO SCHOOL - Winter Break

ODE collected over 2,700 items for our local Meals on Wheels and was able to create a few Thanksgiving baskets for families in need. Thank you to our 4th and 5th grade student council members for collecting and organizing all of the donations.

Our third grade team won the competition by bringing in the most items! They will be treated to Carolina Quench.

Calum Curneen and Greyson Coleman both received 1st place in their grade category for the Horry Georgetown Fire Chiefs' Association fire safety poster contest. They each received $100 and a plaque, and the school will proudly display 2 Principal Trophies for a full year. Congratulations, boys!

Natalie's Elf Shelf Holiday Shop provides our students with a real life learning opportunity. Not only is it a lesson in generosity, but also teaches students how to budget and handle money. Students can shop in secret during the school day to surprise their family and friends with a special gift.

We want our students to experience the joy of giving and “choosing” that special gift for their loved ones during the holiday season.

Noon til 5:00 p.m.

Parents, we need you! There are still openings so click to make an appointment now! Our sponsor code is 12616.

For every 30 donors, ODE will receive a $500 grant!

Walk-ins welcome.

Help spread joy and love this holiday season by donating new, unwrapped toys, crafts, books, or games for children ages 0 - 18. Your generous contribution will bring smiles to many faces while benefiting NMB Toys for Tots.

Items can be dropped off at the front desk or students can bring to their classroom for pickup.

Dental pain is often the reason a child misses school. To make your child’s visit to the dentist as easy as possible, Little River Medical Center offers a school-based mobile dental program called Miles for Smiles. Applications are available at school or you can go online and register at bit.ly/M4Sreg2

Throughout the school year ODE conducts safety drills such as fire, severe weather, lock down, earthquake, and bus. Procedures for all of these drills are reviewed with students, ensuring that ODE has the proper understanding of emergency protocols should the need ever arise.
