🚀Today is the day! Parents, make sure to check backpacks after school for information on our fundraiser and help your student get registered at FundPrizes.com then share with family & friends! We are so grateful for your participation and appreciate your support!

Another successful year for OES Girls on the Run program. I had the pleasure of being a Coach this season. We were able to donate 2 boxes of toys to the Salvation Atmy and on Sunday we completed the GOTR 5K run at the Mariners’ Museum in NN! @PrinciPALMyrick @OES_Braves

Our @SufVAschools @SPS_FPA students shined at @ChryslerMuseum! On Friday, December 13, 2024, five of our schools—Elephant's Fork Elementary @EFES_Proud (Michael Parham), Oakland Elementary @OES_Braves, Northern Shores Elementary @NSESDolphins @NSES_Music (Christopher Stadler), Creekside Elementary @CESg8trs (Jamie Hockaday), and John F. Kennedy Middle School @JFKWolverine (Jamilla Ford)—lit up the stage at The Chrysler Museum, delighting a full audience and showcasing the incredible talent of our students! Earlier, on December 6, Col. Fred Cherry Middle School @CfcmsHawks & The Center for Performing and Production Arts @CPPA_SPS at Lakeland High School @LHSCavs set the tone for excellence during their performances. We are so proud of all eight SPS schools who performed at the Chrysler Museum, and we’re thrilled that Sounds of the Season will feature these schools—along with John Yeates Middle @ChargersJyms - their talent to an even broader audience. 📺 Stay tuned for the broadcast schedule, releasing this Wednesday! We are incredibly thankful for our partnership with The Chrysler Museum, which provides a world-class venue for our students to perform and grow. The visibility and exposure these events provide for our students and music programs are outstanding. Not only do they give our students a platform to shine, but they also reinforce the vital role the arts play in all areas of learning. Special thanks to WTKR Channel 3 for capturing these incredible performances, as well as to our principals, school board members Dr. Brooks-Buck and Mrs. Jenkins, and the entire community for your support. 🎶 Together, we are strengthening the arts and empowering our students to thrive! #SPSCreatesAchievers

My office is usually a mess this time of the year but for a good reason! Mrs. Fenneman and Ms. Rollins made baskets for families in need of some assistance. Our community partners donated toys, food, clothes, etc. Giving back is the best part about being a School Counselor!

Shout to these amazing Girls on the Run coaches out bright and early on this Sunday morning for the 5K Race! @OES_Braves is blessed to have them!
