We had a blast celebrating our students' incredible Respect, Responsibility, and Positive Relationships at the Quarter 1 PBIS Assembly today at Olympia Middle School! 🎉👏
We aren't just celebrating grades—we're celebrating the positive behavior that makes our school a great place to be. A massive thank you to our Spartans for crushing Quarter 1!
The energy was through the roof for our grade-level games and the grand finale raffle!
Today's Highlights:
➡️6th Grade duked it out in the high-stakes Rock, Paper, Scissors Championship! The final winner, Ella, was surrounded by a massive, cheering crowd!
➡️7th Grade got noisy with the classic game of Barn Animals! They had to listen carefully to find their herd! Our winning team was made up of Rowan, Lydia, Abby, Kinley, and Cameron. Way to go, 7th graders!
➡️8th Grade showed their endurance during Ships & Sailors! Only one champion survived Captain Steve's commands, and it was Jase!
➡️Raffle Grand Finale! We gave away a rare Corn Squishmallow, a large Sonic Squishmallow, and 3 bubble machines, but the ultimate prize was the LEGENDARY, GIGANTIC BAT SQUISHMALLOW!
A huge shout-out to our incredible teachers and staff for their support and efforts in putting together this fun event, and congratulations to all the winners!
Keep earning those Spartan tickets and making good choices during Q2! We're already cooking up another celebration!

Last Friday, Olympia Middle School students enjoyed a special opportunity to take part in teacher-led clubs during an extended advisory period. These club days are a favorite at OMS—held on the first Friday of each month—and give teachers a chance to share their hobbies and passions with students in a fun, hands-on way.
With more than 25 clubs to choose from, students can explore a wide range of interests, including Sign Language, Junk Journaling, 3D Printing, Birdwatching, Yoga, and No-Bake Cooking, just to name a few! The building was filled with excitement as students tried new things, learned new skills, and connected with friends and teachers outside the regular classroom routine.
It was wonderful to see so many smiles and hear so much laughter as students discovered new interests and talents. We can’t wait to do it all again when OMS Clubs meet next on Friday, November 7th!
