The day started out by recognizing our 5th graders who will be venturing off to middle school next year. A highlight of the morning was a surprise, secretly arranged by our very own Mrs. FitzPatrick, to have a special appearance by Cardinal and Timmy the Timberwolf. Students, parents, and even our staff members were shocked when they came out from behind the curtain dancing to "I like to move it, move it."
After the 5th-grade recognition ceremony, our entire school gathered for our final all-school assembly. Students were recognized for participating in a variety of clubs throughout the year. The assembly wrapped up with the students learning how many Hoot's had been earned during the school year. Altogether our students earned 1,131 Hoots. We honored the students with the most Hoots in each grade and gave a special round of applause to our top two HOOT earners, Jack P. (13 Hoots) and Bryce M. (14 Hoots)! We are proud of all of our students for displaying Hoot behavior during the year.
After the assembly our students continued to celebrate the last day of school with a recess, all-school yearbook signing and participating in a morning or afternoon Bingo session with Mrs. FitzPatrick and Ms. Davis via our morning announcements video broadcast system. Teachers stopped by to make a guest appearance as a Bingo caller!
Finally, our students in grade K through 4, lined up to form a tunnel to say goodbye to our 5th graders one last time. Students, staff, and families gathered at the end of the day to watch as our OMS Owls leave the nest for the last time.
