Mrs. Behm combined her love of books with her love of the Bucks to motivate young readers. 👍📗
Last week, she shared the new library book, Giannis the Improbable Rise of an NBA MVP by Mirin Fader, with the 6th and 7th graders.
Oh, and they also got to see an authentic 2021 NBA championship ring. Let’s read and #BoostTheOost!
Using their "poet eyes", 2nd graders looked at different objects and creatively decided what they were reminded of! 👀🤔

Our #BoostTheOost Student Council Leadership team took part in a leadership conference last week. They are ready to make 22-23 a great year! ❤️
Last Friday, fourth graders had their science and life skills lesson rolled into one AND there was a special guest! 😮
Coach Holzer and her dad, “Farmer Don,” taught together about the topics of farming, cheese making, entrepreneurial skills, goal setting, perseverance, hard work, and mental toughness.
Farmer Don even provided samples of the cheese made from his cows’ milk called Little Brown Cow Cheese! 🧀
Thank you Farmer Don for spending time at OES on Friday! #BoostTheOost

Recently, HS and MS students went on a wonderful field trip to the John Michael Kohler Arts Center.
They were so wonderful with our students - welcoming and accommodating. First, our students were given a personalized tour, then they received help as they worked through a ceramics workshop, and finally they made space for our students and staff to eat lunch. ❤️
Our students were engaged and it was definitely an enriching experience for them! Thank you, Kohler Arts Center! #BoostTheOost

We are grateful that Mr. Mike Ansay, President of the B. Bruce Krier Foundation, was able to join us for our March 19th building dedication!
Mr. Krier and Mr. Ansay were close friends since childhood, so it was particularly fitting to have Mike cut the ribbon for our new Performing Arts Center.
We are honored to have our PAC named after someone who continues to leave a positive legacy at OSD through annual scholarships, grant support, and now the naming of our theater. #BoostTheOost
