Moments like these are at the heart of what we're building here — a culture of literacy where reading isn't just an assignment, it's something our students choose and enjoy.
Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. Building a culture where students want to read is just as important as teaching them how to read.
Families, tonight at dinner, ask your student what they read today! You might be surprised what they picked.

OMS Picture Day is coming up this Monday, August 24th!
This year, we are moving to an entirely online ordering system — there will be NO paper order forms sent home. If you would like to purchase pictures, all orders must be submitted online before Picture Day.
To place your order:
1. Go to https://inter-state.com/order
2. Enter our school code: 0557ZGB
