OMS Bulldog Bulletin

October was so much fun! The Third Grade Pumpkin Show was a HUGE success. Great job to our third grade bulldogs and our teachers. Halloween was such a fun day! We all had a great time at the parade and parties. The band did an amazing job playing at the parade. Our coin competition was very successful....our bulldogs raised a lot of money for BOOKS! We are looking forward to our Book Fair in November. We hope to see you at our FUN RUN!

The months of November and December are dedicated to the exploration of the mindset, ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE. Please read the parent newsletter.

Through the ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE Mindset, we are taught that we can use either the positives or negatives in our lives as a foundation on which to build. Choose the positives, and we are on our way toward extraordinary success! By focusing on the things we have, there is no time to be distracted by what we don’t have.

4 Key Components:

• Treasure Yourself
• Be More Grateful
• Thank it Forward
• Elevate Your Perspective

Suggestions to stay healthy during cold, flu, and COVID season are helpful during this busy time of year. Habits like frequent handwashing, exercising, eating a balanced meal, and getting plenty of rest are the best ways to maintain a healthy immune system. If you experience symptoms of a cold, flu, or COVID, please stay home. If you have a temperature greater than 100.0, you must be fever-free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hours before returning to school. Those diagnosed with COVID, whether it be symptomatic or asymptomatic, should be isolated for 5 days, beginning on the first full day of symptoms (or the day you were tested if asymptomatic), and may return to school on day 6 if symptom-free. If you have any questions, you can refer to the guidelines on the district website or speak directly with the School Nurse.
