We will be celebrating Red Ribbon/Safe Schools week at OES during the week of Oct. 27-31! Take a look at the flyer for student dress up days!


🗣️ Effective Communicators in Action! 💬
Mrs. Gibbs’ class worked together using a Jot Thoughts activity to come up with strong reasons to support a claim! 🧠✍️ Students shared ideas, built on each other’s thinking, and practiced being clear, confident communicators. 💡👏











From Maryville & Overdale Family Resource Center
🎃✨ The North Area Headstart/Preschool Trunk or Treat Night was a huge success!
Hosted by the Maryville/Overdale and Brooks/Freedom Family Resource Centers, this event brought together preschool teachers, the BCPS School Readiness Coach, OVEC, Zoneton Fire Department, BCPS Book Bus, and Bullitt County Public Library for a fun-filled evening of learning and laughter.
Students enjoyed trick-or-treating, received books, flashcards, and other take-home family engagement activities! 🍬📚
We loved seeing 21 MES & OES students and their families join us for the festivities. Thank you to all the families and partners who made this event such a special night for our youngest Patriots and Mustangs! 💙♥️ #BCPSFamily #EarlyLearning #TrunkOrTreat #FRYSC

Mrs. Schwartz’s class earned their September donut party by filling in their donut with 100% passed iReady lessons! They were having a SWEET day in 5th grade! 🍩



This week, our fifth grade Mustangs used their bodies to model particles of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
