Growing and Glowing at Olds!

This week our spotlight is on our students who completed science fair projects. There was a wide range of research presented with topics including supporting healthy sunscreen uses, how many times to shuffle cards, if you can block wifi, and so much more. Seeing our students showcase the information they learned and to add to the knowledge of all of our students was amazing to see. Thank you to all the students who worked hard on their projects and thank you to all of our parent volunteers and supporters who came to make the fair even better. By sharing knowledge with our school community and engaging in personal research, we can all continue growing and glowing! 

 


 

Weather Reminders

Parents, please support outdoor play for recess by encouraging students to wear coats, gloves, hats, etc. on days with low temperatures.
