A group of Oly South students were selected for an 'Out of the Blue' trip to the playground this afternoon as part of the PBIS program. Student names were drawn from the school bin of blue tickets that are earned through being spotted meeting expectations at school! Great job!

Third graders showing off their Spartan Spirit! 🩵🤍
We read the book, Alma and the Worry Stone, and then created our own worry stones to use this year whenever we need to work through those worries and feel more confident! Even adults, like Mrs. Rogers, need worry stones. Every stone is unique, just like all of our second graders!🥰
It was a big day for the third graders as they got to use chromebooks for the first time!
Third graders at South learned about being good mathematicians by "Saving Fred" today. 🙂

Mrs. Grays firsties ended the year with a blue carpet celebration! Together we cheered on each classmate as we recognized their growth through the year. We also got to take a fun look at comparison first and last day pictures. We all ended the year with a Spartan celebrity status!
We ended our last day with reading "Last Day Blues" and trying last day blues juice! You will be missed first graders, but you're sure to do great things in second grade!
We had our last Parade of Champions for the year on our last day of school. We celebrated our 5th grade class and Mrs. Barnes, who is retiring. Good luck next year! We will miss all of you!
