VETERANS DAY
OES celebrated Veterans Day with an amazing assembly headed up by Katie Lynch, Music teacher, along with the special area teachers, as well as breakfast beforehand sponsored by Leslie Harney, Family Resource Coordinator and countless staff volunteers! About 60 veterans and guests received this special honor and everyone enjoyed the performance. Thank you to all our Veterans from the entire student body and staff of Ockerman Elementary.

Girls on the Run
OES will again have a Girls on the Run team this spring. This fantastic program is open to 4th and 5th grade girls. Over a period of 10-12 weeks, girls participate in an after-school program designed to allow every girl to recognize her inner strength, as well as accomplish the physical goal of completing a 5K.

Practices will begin in February on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school until about 5:15 pm. Please watch for more information to come!
