Principal's Message
We wish your families a wonderful, restful week off of school. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! We will see students back at the nest on Monday, November 28th.
Stay warm and stay well,
Erin, Julia, and the OMS Staff
OMS Office Phone Number
Please save the OMS office phone number (847-398-4282) in your contacts so that if we call, it will identify the caller as Olive. We have learned that with several cell phone carriers, our number appears on caller-ID as Private or Public Service. In the event that we need to reach you on behalf of your child, it would be best for our call to be easily identified by you.
From the Nurse
Please take a moment to read the attached informational letter regarding influenza.

Science Club - Winter Session!
Science Club is back with three sessions, meeting on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, January 10 through March 1. We’re offering hands-on science adventures for students in grades two through five; first grade students may participate if an older sibling is enrolled in Science Club AND an adult can volunteer to help every day that the first grade student attends. We meet from 3:35 until 4:45 PM in the LMC.
Session 1: Carbon (two weeks)
Carbon is in the news these days for its contribution to climate change. Learn about this vital element that is also the cornerstone of life on earth through games and experiments.
Session 2: Rocks, Minerals, and Fossils (two weeks)
Explore the world of geology through hands-on activities with genuine rock, mineral, and fossil samples.
Session 3: Springs & Pendulums, Crossbows & Catapults (four weeks)
Investigate Hooke’s Law and periodic motion, then use what we’ve discovered to explore some ancient and medieval technology.
Want to join in the fun? Complete and return this 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’re 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.
