Weekly Update: April 3, 2026
Family Games Night was sweet, and Improv Night is up next. ALL are WELCOME to join in!
Family Service Day, last Saturday, included essential tasks like raking, moving boxes, and designing our Community Core bulletin board! It was a great day of teamwork and community, and we truly appreciate the time and effort our families contributed. See below for our next opportunity to get involved, as we begin opening our Outdoor Classroom during Spring Break - ALL are welcome!
OSS students helped United Way’s Hunger Heroes twice this month. The first event was the food drop off at Aldi on March 21 and the second was the food packing event at Keith Middle School on March 28. OSS students helped to pack 1,000 kid-friendly meals for kids to have over April vacation, showing up for their community and lending a helping hand.
Planning for our overwhelmingly popular Multicultural Celebration is kicking off. A flier was included in Friday Folders, and if you prefer digital, here is a link to participate. Enjoy inspiring memories from last year below:
Wednesday our Student Council sprinkled a little extra joy into the week with a crew challenge called Battle of the Sprinkles. Each crew chose a theme and decorated cupcakes to match their creative vision. From bold colors to imaginative designs, students showed wonderful teamwork, communication, and collaboration. The best part was enjoying their sweet masterpieces together at the end.
A big thank you to our Student Council for organizing this fun event and to the students and families who generously donated supplies to make it possible. 🍰✨

Gardening not your thing - and yet, you still have service hours to complete?! Consider earning them through student referrals.
If you refer a family to OSS and they attend an admissions event and complete an application, you can earn a service credit. The more families you refer, the more credits you can earn!
Please help us spread the word!
