Principal's Message
Dear OP Families,
Happy end of the school year! What a wonderful year it has been at OP! Our students have done amazing this year and showed so much growth. Third grade students and families, thank you for all you have done for OP throughout your time here - we will certainly miss you at OP!
I would be remiss if we did not give a farewell to Mr. Feys. After 30 years of teaching, 27 of those are service to ACS schools (and 40 years total in Almont if you count the years he was a student here!) Mr. Feys is hanging up his whistle for the last time tomorrow. Its difficult to sum up the outstanding teaching and coaching career of someone like Mr. Feys in a few words, but icon, a legend, and pillar of the ACS community are a good place to start. Mr. Feys, you will truly be missed at OP. Enjoy the bounce houses and time with your family! All the best in retirement! ~ All of us at OP
Please be on the lookout over the summer for communication about back to school activities. I hope everyone has a wonderful summer and I cannot wait to see everyone in August!
Mr. Bruno
