As I write his it is the last day of school... YES!!
It has been a very successful year here for our students... from the community service projects to the academic awards to the national awards for character education, we have demonstrated a high level of performance here at OCS. As I look back over the year and see how it compares with previous years, the high level of success continues. Granted, we do not have tests scores and I know that many measure success based on those scores, but success goes beyond high stakes testing!"
Success is measured in the positive reaction our students feel toward school... it is measured by the 8th graders who tell me they are going to miss OCS... measured by the students who tell me they wish school could be "always!" Measured in the fact that we had no cases of bullying in May or June! Measured in the small class sizes supported by quality educators. Measured by the additional education completed this year by Mrs. Lurz and Mrs. Carr -- who both completed Master's Degrees! Measured in the smiling faces of students who run up the stairs to GET to school!
Enjoy the summer.
Till next time...
