At Olympia South Elementary, our Super Spartans lead by example every day! For the month of October, we are proud to recognize students who demonstrated an outstanding Growth Mindset.

A Growth Mindset means embracing challenges, learning from mistakes, staying resilient when things get tough, and believing that effort leads to improvement.

Happy Halloween from everyone at Olympia South Elementary! We had a little too much fun making our jack-o'-lantern headwear.

OSE families: Can your kids identify their teachers and staff just by their outfits and bag-heads? Let us know your guesses in the comments! The pictures are numbered. Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Oly South students participated in a "Break the Rules" day on Wednesday and came to school in costumes! The students also met their goal of filling the bucket with blue tickets for being Kind, Safe, and Ready to Learn, earning themselves an all-school celebration!
