🎉 Happy National Principals Month! 🎉

This October, we proudly recognize and celebrate the outstanding leadership of our principal, Dr. Joshua DeWar! 💙

Thank you for being the heart of our school — leading with compassion, integrity, and a vision that inspires both students and staff every day. Your dedication to creating a safe, supportive, and high-achieving learning environment does not go unnoticed.

From morning greetings to tough decisions, from school spirit to academic excellence — you make a difference in every hallway and classroom.

Let’s all take a moment to say and show our appreciation for everything Dr. DeWar does to make our school community stronger. 🌟

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.

As we celebrate the end of the first quarter, students may wear pajamas to school and contribute one dollar to the PTO this Friday, 10/3! Thank you for all your great work to kick off this year, Mustangs!

4th grade students won the graduate profile competition for being effective communicators. They get to hold the Golden Mustang for the month of October!

We cannot let yesterday go without giving all of our Teacher Assitants a HUGE shoutout! These staff members go above and beyond for all our students. They are the heartbeat behind so much of what we do at Overdale. Thanks to them, our students are learning to be awesome mustangs! Thank you to Mrs. Newman, Mrs. Cummins, Mrs. Yates, Ms. Hunter, Ms. Stivers, Mrs. Bowersox and Ms. Southard!
