We are beginning to pack up for our construction project and we need volunteers to help. If you would like to help please signupHERE to volunteer. We have added days and times to choose from to help at OHA. You may bring your OHA student(s) to help on those days as well.
Also, please complete the family survey to help provide feedback for continuous improvement.
I want to wish all of you a great summer. Here are some tips to continue learning this summer.
Read every day! Books, newspapers, magazines, song lyrics, etc.
I hope you all have a relaxing and fun summer with family and friends. Thanks for a great school year and I wish all the best to our fifth graders moving on to middle school. You will do great things.
Take care of yourself, your family, and each other.
Because of construction Ms. Hennen and Ms. Prather will be working remotely or at Wildwood this summer. Typically we work M-Th but this may vary due to vacations and training this summer. Please contact us with any questions or needs and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
We hope you have a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you in the fall.
