BMX Assembly
We had a great BMX assembly today! The stunts were amazing! They also shared messages about bike safety, persevering when things are hard, and kindness. Thank you to our fabulous PTA for this great experience.
Our students were amazed at the skills they observed this morning!
Ms. Falcone, Ms. Giovanini, Ms. Degnan, and Ms. Durso were so brave when the BMX rider jumped over them!
These riders must be goal directed and resilient to master all these tricks!

BAKE FOR GOOD
 The OHES Student POG Patrol is proud to bring an exciting opportunity for our 4th, 5th and 6th grade students and families. These students will have a virtual assembly on Thursday, April 23rd with King Arthur’s Baking Company. This outreach program allows students to learn, bake, and share their baked goods as an act of kindness using the power of baking to make a difference. Students will learn that combining math, science, reading, and baking know-how, adds up to delicious bread! What a great opportunity this will be to practice all those amazing Portrait of a Graduate skills we have been learning!
Students will receive a Baking Kit which includes two bags of King Arthur flour, a Bake For Good recipe booklet, Red Star Yeast, a KABC dough scraper and a bread donation bag. With their new baking skills, and your support, your student will bake this recipe with confidence. After baking two loaves of bread or rolls, they will share half of their baked goods (one loaf or some rolls) with a neighbor or someone in the community.
Please visit KingArthurBaking.com/BakeForGood to learn more about Bake for Good and find helpful videos and tips for baking at home.
We can’t wait to hear all about your experiences making and sharing bread with others!

As we are moving into spring, please check to make sure your child's winter jackets are in your closets and not in the lost and found! Our lost and found is overflowing with winter jackets and LOTS of sweatshirts! We will be donating what is left at the end of April, so please come in and check.
Before we donate, we do check for names, so please consider putting your child's name or initials on an inside label of their sweatshirts and jackets. We donate many articles of clothing each year because they are not labeled.
