April means it’s National Poetry Month! For nearly 30 years, libraries, classrooms, book stores, publishers and authors have been celebrating the humor, emotion, and experience that only a poem can reveal. Here at OV we not only share poems, but also novels in verse with students. These are stories told through the medium of poems, rather than prose (like in a typical novel). Some readers say there is more rhythm and imagery in a novel in verse than in a novel in prose. Students will also be creating their own poetry when they visit the library in the future. Please contact Mrs. Peterson if you would like more information!

Have an 8th grader going to Kamiak this fall who is interested in trying out for the Dulcineas dance team? The 2025-2026 dance team performs at football and basketball halftimes, pep assemblies and parades.

Tryouts are on Friday, May 23rd at 3pm at Kamiak's gym. (Teacher recommendations are due by 5/19.) There are clinics on May 20th and May 22nd from 3:15-5:15pm to get ready for tryouts.

Summer practices will be on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:30am-12:30pm throughout the summer.

Interested students should pick up a tryout packet in the OV office.

Dear 8th Grade Families,

Help us make memories for our 8th graders! We need as many families as possible to donate just $10-$20 toward the 8th Grade Celebration. All funds go toward prizes, games and activities that all the students can enjoy. (Check out the donation progress below.)

 

Our parent planning committee has lots of ideas, including popcorn, pizza, games and fun prizes. The total amount of donations received will determine the budget--the more we collect, the bigger the party our 8th graders can have! 

Bring cash or checks to the OV Main Office or send with your students. (Make checks payable to OVMS and add "8th Grade Celebration on the memo line.) 

Go to https://wa-mukilteo.intouchreceipting.com/ and log in. (Use your same Qmlativ user name and password in the space where green arrow is pointing in picture below.)

Join us tonight (4/14) at 7pm on Zoom for our General Meeting to vote on the new board. We will raffle off two sets of $5 Snacks Ahoy bucks for your student to use at the end of the meeting (must be a PTO member). https://us06web.zoom.us/j/8967508001?pwd=BbSvzDfKUVwohuA7kbgQL45rh8B2Nb.1
