Mr. Miller's Message
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Welcome to May! This month marks a busy and exciting time at Ore City Elementary, as we gear up for the end of the school year and all the activities that come with it. I’d like to take a moment to share some important information and reflect on our journey together this school year.
First, I want to express my gratitude to our dedicated teachers and staff, who have worked tirelessly to create a nurturing and engaging environment for our students. Their commitment to fostering a love of learning has been invaluable. I would also like to thank all of you, parents and guardians for helping to impress upon your children the value and importance of an education.
As we approach the end of the school year, we have several events to look forward to. Here are a few highlights:
- Field Day: Our Field Days are scheduled for May 9 (3rd-5th) and May 16 (PK-2nd). These are always fun-filled days of games, activities, and team spirit. Parents, you're welcome to join us and cheer on the students!
- End-of-Year Awards Ceremonies: Each grade level will be hosting end-of-year awards ceremonies to honor the accomplishments of our students. Please see the May calendar regarding those dates/times.
- End-of-Year Parties: Each grade level will be hosting end-of-year awards parties to celebrate a wonderful year. We will send home the schedule for those parties once the times are set.
Finally, in May, we also focus on reflecting on the year’s accomplishments and setting goals for the future. I encourage parents and guardians to talk with their children about what they've learned and what they hope to achieve in the coming school year. These conversations are a great way to reinforce the value of education and personal growth.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership throughout this school year. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and celebrating the end of a successful year at Ore City Elementary School.
Wishing you a fantastic May!
Sincerely,
Chad Miller
SUPERSTAR REBELS!
REMINDER
Character Strong Focus: COURAGE
We are excited to focus on COURAGE this month! One way to think about Courage is "choosing what is helpful, right, and kind even when it is hard or scary." Courage can look a little different for everyone. As a family, reflect, think, and discuss things you would like to do, but find intimidating or scary. Maybe it's a new hobby, trying a new game, or sharing your art or invention with others, or going on an adventure somewhere. Give 1 of these things a try together this month and take a selfie to capture the memory!
Conversation Starters:
●Can you share what it means to have Courage?
● When you practice Courage, how does it make you feel? Why?
