Overdale Elementary School

Our 5th graders put their communication skills to the test today in ELA! Students practiced giving and receiving constructive feedback on their Narnia travel brochures 🗺️—learning how to celebrate strengths and suggest improvements kindly and thoughtfully. It was amazing to see them collaborating, listening, and helping each other make their projects shine even brighter!

Operation Undercover Spirit Day! "There's six week until break. That's wild!" Our winners were Ms. Hardin and Mrs. Yates!
