February 2017 Blog

Sometimes winter is really fun, but sometimes the winter seems to go on and on and on.  We found lots of ways to stay productive and positive here at OR throughout the winter.  Here are a few snapshots for you...

We had our first ever BINGO and Ice Cream Social in the middle of the winter!  Oh what fun to create sundaes on a cold, cold day!  Thanks for coming to share the fun, and thanks to the many parents who volunteered.

We experienced a variety of activities on Enrichment Day.  What a range of activities:   Zoo to You, bird feeder building, scuba diving, Irish step dancing, karate, coin collecting, hip hop dancing, baseball card trading, cartooning…and the list went on from there.  Thanks to the many parent and community volunteers who made this fun February day possible.

Each month we have a school-wide assembly which highlights the character traits of the month.  Students learn about positive character traits, and then one grade level performs the assembly.  This month’s show will be run by many of our first graders; they will teach us about honesty and trust.  Last month our second graders taught us about perseverance.

Soon we’ll host our fourth annual Onondaga Road Science Fair.  Students from grades 3, 4, 5 are invited to participate in the Science Fair on March 16^th at 6:00.  Students from all grades are welcome to come to the Fair.  On February 15^th we will host a library research night for anyone interested in participating in the Science Fair.  The library will be open 4:00-6:30 on February 15^th, but if you plan to come, you can come any time within those two and a half hours.  At that time, students will get specific information about the Science Fair and a poster display board for their projects.  Students must be accompanied by an adult at both the research night on February 15^th and the Science Fair on March 16^th.
