Our Kindergarteners and 4th graders had the absolute best time visiting Laggis Farm last week! Students got to visit their special class cows and learn all about life on the farm.

They wrapped up their big adventure by fueling up with some lunch and treating ourselves to some well-deserved ice cream nearby. ☀️🍦

A huge thank you to Laggis Farm for hosting us and making today so memorable for our students and to our classroom teachers for organizing the trip!

Federal funding is based on participation, so every meal served helps strengthen and sustain the program for the families who count on it most. The more kids and families who participate, the more welcoming and “normal” the program becomes, helping remove the stigma that can sometimes keep people away. Summer meals are for everyone 18 and under, and every person in line helps make that message louder and clearer. Please help spread the word and help us build a stronger, more connected community this summer!

The OCSU PTCA in collaboration with the District Health Office Staff are kicking off a month-long wellness challenge for all students, staff and families! Today students will receive their Week 1 Challenge Card with a focus on nutrition. Directions to enter a raffle are included. Caregivers who wish to participate should contact their school office!

Did you know that fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins that help your body grow strong and stay healthy? Try to “eat the rainbow” by choosing fruits and vegetables of different colors each day. Each color provides different nutrients your body needs. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps keep your eyes healthy and supports good vision—especially in dim light!
