This morning we kicked off the day with our annual Last Day Staff Breakfast and a special celebration for Mrs. Gentry’s retirement.

This week's student spotlight goes out to all 3rd grade students. "The entire 3rd grade helped fill up 13 garden beds with the soil that was delivered. They are doing an amazing job taking ownership of this project, adding different components to the garden for each of their research areas. What would have taken me hours and hours of work, they were able to complete in 2 30 minute chunks!" -Mrs. Thompson

Yesterday, we celebrated a joyful milestone at OMES as our kindergarteners and 5th graders were honored in a special promotion ceremony! Families and staff gathered to recognize the incredible growth and accomplishments of these students. Kindergarteners beamed with pride as they crossed the stage, marking the completion of their very first year of school, while our 5th graders celebrated the end of their elementary journey and the exciting transition to middle school. The event was filled with smiles, applause, and a few happy tears—thank you to all the families, teachers, and staff who helped make the day so memorable!

The Class of 2025 walked our halls one last time today—and wow, what a moment. 💙 We saw familiar faces, shared big hugs, and felt all the emotions. Watching our former students come back home was such a gift. Once a Koala, always a Koala. 🐨

Final KASA Fundraiser Update! We did it, Old Mill! Thanks to your generosity, we raised a grand total of $887.24 for Special Olympics—surpassing our $800 goal! Kentucky took the win with $504.50 raised, which means… Mrs. Joiner gets to keep wearing her Kentucky blue! Thank you for showing up big for an amazing cause!

This week's student spotlight goes out to Owen and Easton. They saw a need and filled it!  When we cleaned up Makerspace today they could tell some zippered bags were not fitting in the bins well and took the time to take them all out, resort, and also place random pieces back in the correct bags. They worked as a team and worked efficiently to make a big difference
