Today, the big moment finally arrived! Students gathered in the gym where the mystery readers—hidden behind some pretty creative animal masks— sat while students were given three clues about each reader. After students locked in their guesses, the readers revealed their identity by removing their masks! 🐷🐼🐴🐶
The room was filled with excitement, laughter, and plenty of surprised reactions as students discovered which familiar faces had been reading to them all along. Activities like this make reading even more fun and help build a love for books across our schools.
A big thank you to all of our mystery readers for helping make Read Across America Week such a memorable experience for our students! 📖✨
✨ Look at this AMAZING artwork created by our very own school cook, 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐧! 🎨💚
This fun, fairy-tale-inspired drawing reminds us to “𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠!” 👑 From dragons to castles and some very familiar storybook friends, every detail celebrates how breakfast fuels us for the day’s big adventures.
Our kitchen doesn’t just serve meals — they serve creativity, care, and a whole lot of heart. 💛
Thank you to our talented cook for sharing your gifts with our school and for making sure our students start every day ready to learn, grow, and conquer their quests!
Be sure to grab breakfast this week and thank our incredible nutrition staff! 🥣🍎
We were excited to kick off the week by welcoming 𝐃𝐞𝐛 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 from the 𝐒𝐚𝐜 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐮, who shared Full of Beans: Henry Ford Grows a Car by Peggy Thomas with our K–5 students. This nonfiction book highlights Henry Ford’s innovative idea to create a car using soybean-based plastics during the Great Depression—showcasing his passion for agriculture, creativity, and sustainability. What a wonderful way to connect farming, history, and innovation for our students!
The fun doesn’t stop there! Students are also enjoying 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐝𝐚𝐲, trying to guess which OABCIG staff member is behind the book — think 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 excitement with a grand reveal happening Friday morning! 🎭📖
