EVENTS
LET'S CREATE SOME NEW MEMORIES.
The events we sponsor each year can change but there are some activities we tend to bring back often, due to their high popularity. Here are some of them.
Trunk or Treat
Trunk or treat is a fun outdoor Halloween themed event with car decorating, costumes, candy, music, dancing, and playground games, held on a Friday night in October.
Cookies with Santa
An evening in December, families take with Santa, eat goodies, and pick from a giving tree to grant teacher's wishes. Sixth graders sell candygrams and baked goods.
Lock-In (Grades 4-6)
The older grades take over the school! At the lock-in students have a blast with their friends on a Friday evening with pizza, inflatables, competitions, and lots of fun themed rooms.
High Interest Day
On High Interest Day students take "classes" consisting of different activities throughout the day. Is your kiddo up for capture the flag or ultimate frisbee? Do they want to make smoothies or quesadillas? Would they rather paint rocks or create name art? Your student is sure to find a class they'll enjoy.
Hot Dog Day
The school opens its doors for parents (and other family members) to have a free hot dog lunch with their student. Tables and chairs are set up outside. Kids play on the playground. Families mingle. The end of school is near so this serves as part of a last hurrah for the school year.
Journey Into the Arts
This program offers students a chance to learn more about and create art. Last year's project was replacing the Shine mural on the Orchard Lane building, welcoming you to school. All hands (and grades) were on deck for this one. And it turned out spectacular! Projects vary; all are creative fun!
Grade Specific Fun
We sponsor extra programs by grade. This could include class field trips, zoo classes, special presenters, or theater productions. We also fund and host the sixth grade end of year activities (field trip and moving on ceremony). ​
Classroom Support
We fund some of the extras, including Scholastic News handouts, reading programs, classroom snacks, and playground supplies. We also reimburse staff for some of their additional classroom expenses each year.
Staff Appreciation
OL staff are amazing! We show them how grateful we are for all their hard work with staff lunches, cookies and coffee, bus driver gifts, and teacher appreciation week gifts and activities.
