Projects

“Kinderprep Mentorship”

Kinderprep Mentorship is a weekly initiative designed to connect student council students with kinderprep students. Each week two groups (they alternate) go read and do activities and another group plays at recess. This project not only supports academic success, but promotes social-emotional learning. The project is great for school spirit and also exposing our littles to expectations on the playgroup, connection, and family. 

“Ambassador Committee”

Students OES Ambassadors provide tours to potential new families, new staff, community members, board members, even the Governor of Iowa! Students also greet any new student with a cheerful welcome and treat bag. The Ambassadors foster a welcoming environment, provide helpful information, and promote school spirit and community helping others to feel connected and welcomed at OES.  It is an integral part of our school. We love to show off the amazing things happening – what better way to do so than our awesome 5th graders.
