OMS Golfers Take on the IESA Sectionals!
We are incredibly proud of these six OMS golfers who competed in the IESA Sectional yesterday and today!
Braden Deal
Ian Welch
Baylor McDaniel
Jack Milligan
Elena Dilbeck
Harleigh Siliskie
Unlike many school sports, these golfers don't have a traditional season or an official OMS team. Instead, they put in the work on their own throughout the spring and summer, practicing, playing, and continuing to develop their game — and that dedication earned them the opportunity to compete at the IESA Sectional.
We couldn't be more proud of these six athletes for representing Olympia Middle School and putting their hard work to the test.
Congratulations, golfers! Your dedication and love for the game are something to be proud of!
Congratulations OMS Softball
We have been notified that the highway department will be working on the Moore's Mill bridge starting tomorrow, September 9th @ 8:00 a.m. We are anticipating delays and maybe even a road closure. Parents, students, and staff should use an alternate route.

Today we shine our Spartan Staff Spotlight on Carson Inselmann, 8th Grade English Language Arts teacher and OHS Soccer Coach. Thank you for everything you do for our students, Miss Inselmann!
Another OMS First Friday Read-A-Thon Post- Our OMS students spent an entire class period today doing something simple but powerful: reading. Whether it was a favorite book they've read a dozen times or a brand new title they couldn't wait to open, our OMS students were locked in, page after page.
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 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.
For a full class period, our halls went quiet as OMS students dove into stories of their own choosing — no assignments, no pressure, just the simple joy of reading. Our First Friday Read-A-Thon gave students a full class period to simply get lost in a book.
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.
