MakerSpace/Library Updates

Thank you again for your help in making our Boosterthon fundraiser such a success!  Items for our MakerSpace stations in the library have begun to arrive.  Within the next few weeks, students will be able to start exploring and creating in the library at the following stations: Legos, duct tape, Makey Makey invention kits, puzzles, and arts & crafts.  We are looking forward to using these materials as we tinker, create, and expand our horizons!  We have also added wheels to some bookshelves and purchased lounger cushions where students can relax and read a book!

Christmas Reading Challenge

Christmas Reading Challenge

Students at OES will be participating in a Christmas Reading Challenge by reading as much as they can over the holiday break.  The challenge begins on Friday, December 18^th upon dismissal from school and concludes on Tuesday, January 5^th when we return.  Students may use the special “Christmas Challenge” logs that are attached.  If they are filled, notebook paper may be attached to the log.  All logs must be turned in on January 5^th.  These steps will be added to his or her regular reading log, also!  ***All students that participate in reading over the break will receive a special surprise!

OES is competing against other District 2 schools for a trophy and bragging rights.  In addition, the class with the highest percentage of reading per grade level will receive a trophy for their class and “Pancakes with the Principals.” 

We would love to see pictures of your child/children reading over the winter break; please share them with us on social media using #OESreads2015.  We encourage every student to READ, READ, READ over the break to maintain the progress made thus far this school year!

Winter Wonderland

  Christmastime is here!  Our library elf arrived from the North Pole this week (he came in on a reindeer this year), and things are looking festive in the media center.  More details will be coming soon about our District Christmas Reading Challenge.

Clemson Wins the Challenge!

Clemson/Carolina Challenge

Clemson raised the most money in the challenge (all $ raised went to Relay for Life), so the Carolina fans received a pie in the face this afternoon!  Over $1000 was raised!  Way to go, All Stars!
