The cool tunes and great company were perfect. Thank you to our PTA Chairs, Nina Shamoon and Kristi Spina, who managed a flawless event even while dealing with houses full of sick kids. We appreciate your hard work! The OMS exclusive movie showing on Monday, January 22 brought over 100 people to see Paddington 2. Liz McDonnell knows exactly how to spend a fun morning off school.
