Every week before sending out the Branch I look back at last years Branch to see what was up at the nest. One year ago (9.17.21) we had our first "Funnel Friday"! We are now back to High Five Friday's! We could not have asked for better weather. Thank you to JHHS NANOOK, football, poms, and cheer seniors for welcoming our owls to school this morning. We are excited to continue this fun tradition.

National Hispanic Heritage Month!

Mark your calendars! Parent/Teacher conferences will be on Thursday, October 20th and Friday, October 21st. More information regarding sign-ups will be coming soon. Our staff looks forward to meeting with all of you!

Science Club is Back!

Science Club is back with more hands-on science adventures for students in grades two through five. We’re offering two sessions, meeting on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, October 4 through November 16. We meet from 3:35 until 4:45 PM in the LMC.

Session 1: Wheels and More (three or four weeks)

Explore the relationship between potential and kinetic energy, and utilize your design skills to build and test wheeled vehicles.

Session 2: Flight (two or three weeks)

Experiment with a variety of folded paper glider designs, then conclude our fall activities with the ever-popular parachute challenge.

No School Days note: We’ll build a solar powered device on Tuesday, October 4th and Wednesday, November 9 so neither group will miss out when there’s no school on Wednesday, October 5, and Tuesday, November 8.

Want to join in the fun? Complete and return the registration form as soon as possible. Sessions can fill up very quickly. The number of students per session is dependent on the number of adult volunteers.

To ensure that we are able to provide a safe and enjoyable activity at least two adults will be present each day. Any days that do not have at least one adult volunteer will be cancelled. Please consider signing up to help on one or more days as your schedule allows.

*First grade students may only participate if: 1. an older OMS sibling(s) is enrolled in Science Club AND 2. a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle can volunteer to help every day the first grade student attends.
