😊✏️ Starting the day the right way in 5th grade! ✏️😊
Mrs. Tipton knows how to make mornings count! She’s out greeting students with a smile and a sign—whether it’s a cheerful “Good Morning” or a friendly reminder that it’s Math Test Day. 📚🧠
It’s little moments like these that help students feel welcomed, prepared, and ready to do their best. We love seeing the positive energy and encouragement first thing in the morning! 💙

🚀👔 Intermediate Principal for the Day in Action! 👔🚀
Zayne Miller stepped into a big leadership role as our Intermediate Principal for the Day—and he did an amazing job! From doing classroom observations with Mr. Burns to helping serve up pizza on Friday, Zayne handled the day like a pro. 🍕👏
A big thank you to OSF for making opportunities like this possible through the kids’ auction—creating unforgettable memories and meaningful experiences for our students. 💙

Our Outdoors Club is getting ready for spring! 🌱🌸
With financial support from OSF, students planted a variety of pollinator plants to welcome back the monarch butterflies as they migrate through Oklahoma. 🦋🌼 While working in the garden, they also noticed milkweed and carrots beginning to emerge.
It is always exciting to see those early signs of growth, and we are looking forward to all that the season will bring! ☀️🌷

🌟📚 Big Day in 5th Grade! 🚀✨
We kicked things off with a fun “Tea Party” as students brought history to life through a reader’s theater on the Boston Tea Party 🍵🇺🇸
Then, things went out of this world when the Lunar Sooners brought their Soonerarium (mobile planetarium) to campus! 🌌🪐 Students explored planets, moon phases, and constellations, and even got to ask astrophysicists some incredible questions—everything from black holes to colliding galaxies and wormholes! 🤯✨ Our 5th graders were curious, engaged, and asked some seriously impressive questions! 👏
We wrapped up the day in STEM by presenting Makey Makey projects, and WOW—they did not disappoint! ⚡🎶 These creations were truly out of this world! 🚀💡

Changes beginning MONDAY, MARCH 9th:
Front Office Relocation---The entire current front office, including the front conference room, will officially be closed.
The “new” front office and Nurse Cain’s office will open in the current 5th-grade office starting Monday, March 9th.
Morning Crosswalk
Parking Lot Changes--The front row of the large parking lot by the intermediate and middle school will remain reserved for visitor parking at the new front office location.
Students will follow the same route initially, but instead of entering through the front doors, they will walk straight along the walkway to the gym entrance doors.
Afternoon Crosswalk
Students will now meet in the current 4th grade pod (future 3rd grade pod) after dismissal.
Nurse Cain and Mrs. Scott will escort students through the side door to the pod and walk them to the crosswalk, utlizing the concrete walkway along the side of the school.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility during these changes!
