Growing and Glowing at Olds!

We have so many incredible things that happened the last week of school in 2024. We had a beautiful musical performance by our Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade students. We also had the privilege of hearing our Choir Club perform musical selections that had been hard at work on. We also all had a fun spirit week being about to wear some fun holiday accessories. Lastly, staff spent the week having celebrations as well including playing a bell game, taking “family” photos, and writing kindness cards. Staff had fun but the best part was the students' reactions to the schoolwide joy. There were a lot of laughs, smiles, and excitement throughout the building. That was a great way to end 2024 and we are excited to bring that energy to 2025. We are going to keep growing and glowing in the new year!
