On Tuesday, April 14 at 6:00 PM, we will host a family workshop titled The Science of Building Habits, exploring strategies that support the academic and personal habits students need for long-term independence and success.
This session is part of our family workshop series (see the poster below), which continued this week with a valuable conversation on Screens and Teens. These programs are thoughtfully selected for our community, and families who attend receive family service credits. If you can join us, we hope to see you there—it would be wonderful to fill the room.
Calendar Highlights:
Saturday March 7 ~ Admissions Presentation 10am, please do help us spread the word.
Thursday March 12 ~ AHA! Night (OSS tabling at Star Store 5-7pm, in partnership with Women’s Alliance.)
Friday March 13 ~ Cozy Craft Corner hosted at OSS by the Family Engagement Committee, 5:30-6:45pm. Join in!
We made a special request for co-ed youth league basketball, and our wish was fulfilled! Now, we hope you’ll sign up and enjoy the game!
Our Grade 5 students are engaging in the ThinkGive Circles of Care curriculum, where they reflect on the people and places—from themselves and their families to friends and the broader global community—and explore how care strengthens these connections. Through interactive lessons, meaningful dialogue, and creative reflection, our students build empathy and develop a deeper understanding of their impact on others. Be sure to check out the link in this newsletter for family resources that extend this learning at home and invite you into your child’s Circle of Care journey.
Many community organizations offer amazing summer programs for students – we invite you to explore options on the Local Day Camps page of our Summer Programs website. Some are open for registration now, and others will open for registration soon. We will continue to update the website as more information becomes available. Some programs will fill quickly.
We are finalizing our OSS summer program schedule and will share our program options with you later in March, along with an online registration form. If you have any questions, please reach out to Ms. Sanders at asanders@oursistersschool.org or text 774.328.6694.
The brand new, still in the box couch illustrated above is available for $50 to any interested party. Email Ms. Herman for details.
New Bedford public has a PD day however, OSS does not. So, we look forward to seeing everyone for school on Monday.
Have a refreshing weekend!
Ms. Herman and the OSS Team
