We are also very excited to add Mrs; Kila Baum as a paraeducator to fill the position opened by Mr. Garrett Collins joining the teaching staff. Mrs. Baum has been with us for two weeks and has been settling in very well as she provides extra support to students.

While they deserve to be celebrated every single day, National Custodian Day is the one day on the calendar set aside just for them. That day is today!
The Custodial Team as a part of the Operations Department works tirelessly to keep our facilities looking 'clean and pristine'. While they could be easily mistaken for robots for the work that they do, they are humans that truly care about the staff and students of Olivet Community Schools and strive to do their best each and every day!
A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to:
Susan Mead, Tom Critchlow, Art Pullen and Riley Collins who service FPE.
Dee Stansbury, Tom Critchlow, Art Pullen, Evan Wolf, Ione Ormsbee, Sophia Lawson and Amie Sellen who service OMS.
Dee Stansbury, Tom Critchlow, John Gonzales and Evan Wolf who service OHS.
Sherry Sellen and Brian Matson spend time assisting wherever there is a need, whenever there is a need!

Not only did our student do the Fun-Run, they also had an activity hour with the help of 11 University of Olivet students. They helped with supervising fun activities. Best quote from our students, "Are we even at school today?" These memories will last a lifetime. #ocsrocks

Very proud of the hard work and effort given by our fourth and fifth grade students as they did the Fun-Run-A-Thon today. Not only did they get a great workout, but they raised money for two great causes!

Looks like the rain will hold off this morning for the Fun-Run-A-Thon. The grass may be damp, so we encourage students to bring an extra pair of shoes. 5th grade will be at the high school track from 9-10am. 4th grade will be at the track from 10-11am. Families are welcome to cheer on from the stands!

We are so grateful to have Mrs. Lincoln at OMS! She has made it her mission to provide the 4th/5th grade students with an amazing environment and experience each time they visit our library. They may be in the middle school, but they are still elementary students.
