Approximately 60 fourth graders were recognized for meeting their AR goals during the first six weeks of school. To celebrate, students enjoyed an outdoor lunch and refreshing ice cream floats. While they receive at least 10 minutes of independent reading time in class each day, they are also expected to read for at least 20 minutes each evening as part of their homework. These students rose to the challenge and succeeded!

Last week, students at Orangefield Elementary joined children and adults around the world in celebrating creativity, courage, and collaboration through International Dot Day. Inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot, this event encourages innovation, self-discovery, and confidence.
OES Librarian, Kaycie Donnaud, shared the story with classes and encouraged students to “make their mark” to help make the world a more colorful and wonderful place.
