We are beginning to pack up for our construction project and we need volunteers to help. If you would like to help please signup HERE 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.

  • Start a book club with friends.

  • Practice math facts.

  • Check out the OHA Media Symbaloo for great learning opportunities.  

  • Go on family explorations and field trips. Use these sentence stems. I notice… I wonder.

  • Explore passions.

  • Follow the Washington County Library Summer Events
     

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.
