“ELD service is not merely a linguistic support system; it is an educational imperative. It recognizes that every student deserves to think, talk, show understanding, and ultimately learn.”

Wrapped up a great summer of NLL at @OPS_Morton with our summer showcase yesterday! Students did a great job sharing our family safety plan book and first aid kits that we created to our families and community members! See ya in August! ☀️

We had a great time visiting @OmahaLibrary and @DoSpaceOmaha! Student Review - “Wait…you mean I can come back here…whenever I want?!?!?”

Thank you @RustyLord for visiting us a few weeks ago! We learned about the career of a meteorologist, how storms are formed, and severe weather safety! Students will use this information to create family safety plans in the event of a weather emergency.

Our @OPS_Morton girls soccer team is headed to the city championship tomorrow!!!!
