It is hard to believe summer has gone by so quickly and we are almost ready for our new students as well are our returning students to the Oskaloosa Elementary School. The building was a hub of activity all summer long as we held Summer School for approximately 60 students. The coordinators of the Summer Lunch Program utilized our kitchen area to cook the meals for the many different lunch sites. Musco installed new LED lighting in the gymnasium for an incredible brightness to that area.
Our custodial and maintenance staff were busy all summer cleaning our rooms, waxing floors, extracting and shampooing all carpets, freshening up paint, and improving the landscaping for a better look to our building as our students return.
We have a several new teachers at OES this year, so be sure to welcome them to our OES family when you see them. Kailey Balducki-4th grade, Jenny Braundmeier-SPED, Lorelle Cheney-1st grade, Courtney Groenendyk-4th grade, Ayla Leopold-4th & 5th School Counselor, Keri Murphy-3rd grade, Kim Prendergast-SPED, Kathy Richmond-1st grade, Heather Sult-VanGorp-4th grade, Andrea Taylor, Katie Trainer-Kindergarten, Justin Von Ahsen-5th & 6th Band/Instrumental, and Melissa VanDyne-5th grade. Our teachers have already returned to their classrooms and preparing for their students. They received training in our new math curriculum and are ready to teach this new method to their students.
We are excited to welcome everyone to the new school year tomorrow night, August 21st at our Back to School - Meet the Teacher Night from 5:30 - 6:30 pm.
