Olive's 50th Celebration

We had a wonderful end to the week with the OMS 50th Birthday Assembly and Open House.  During the all school assembly, the students were able to meet the past four principals of Olive, and hear about their favorite memories of being a principal in this wonderful community.

Linda Burkhard,  Rebecca FitzPatrick, Marybeth Anderson,  and Mary Stitt,





In addition, we revealed the name of our new mascot, as voted on by the students,  with 51% choosing the winning name - "Oliver!"





 We also shared an OMS Tour video created by some of our fourth grade students.  Check out the link to this video, now located on the Olive website!



In addition, we shared the all school photo taken during our rainbow spirit day by one of our wonderful PTA parents, Mrs. Michelle Strahan Quafisheh.  This picture turned out great, and we are excited to be selling copies in this week's Twig!




The day concluded with an all community open house.  The Olive staff had  a great time visiting with past students and families. In addition,  many past staff members stopped by to check out the wonderful ways Olive has changed or stayed the same!  We cannot thank all of you enough, especially our PTA, for your support during this week of festivities!
