CAUTION: Drop Off/Pick Up Safety
We have recently received reports of safety concerns regarding students being dropped off and picked up from school. Please pay extra attention to vehicles and children between 8:45 and 9:10 am and 3:35 and 3:55 pm.
Please make sure your child is entering/exiting the vehicle in our designated zone. Students should be entering and exiting vehicles from the sidewalk and into the passenger side of the vehicle only. Students SHOULD NOT be getting into or out of vehicles along the yellow marked curve.
There have also been reports of vehicles stopped and/or parked in public crosswalks. Cars that are trying to maneuver around these cars are unable to see adults and children that are trying to cross the street.
Also, students should NOT be picked up or dropped off directly in front of the building along Olive Street. Please pull forward past the stop sign, past the first closed driveway, and allow your child to exit the vehicle in the designated drop off zone.
With your support, we can continue to keep all of our students, staff, and OMS families safe.

LMC - Chat and Chew
Third graders in the LMC Chat and Chew program were excited to talk with author, Wendy Mass, through Skype at the book discussion this week. The students had a chance to ask her lots of questions about the life of an author. She told the students that she has fifth grade twins. Her daughter helps her edit the books as she writes them. Ms. Mass told the students that she is currently working on a new book for her Twice Upon a Time series. She explained that creating a book takes imagination and also time spent researching. Ms. Mass advised the students to be devoted readers if they hope to become authors some day.
Shoes, Shoes, Shoes
With the help of our Olive Owls and their families, we collected 286 pairs of shoes! On April 26th, the service learning club spent their lunch recess helping to sort and bag the shoes collected for delivery on May 1st to Share Your Soles warehouse in Chicago. Way to go Owls for giving a hoot about others!
