We had our ribbon cutting ceremony for
our Buddy Bench which was donated by
our supportive PTA! Thank you! We were
also able to play with the new play-
ground games the Ocean City Education
Foundation donated. In play, we learn,
practice and master skills on how to be a
good friend. We learn about friendships
and how to communicate with others in
social situations. These skills transfer
into the community, the workplace and
our society as a whole in years to come.
All of our students took the
following pledge:
Please contact Lisa Hurff if you are an
approved volunteer and would like to
come play with us at recess. We
would love to have you! If you are not
a volunteer, please consider being
one!
Thank you Sgt. Hopely and the
OCPD for teaching our 1st-3rd
grades the importance of bicycle
and pedestrian safety!
Thank you for a great start to our school year. Fall conferences
were a great way for our staff to share with parents MAP data and
student progress. We hope you enjoyed this time to sit down with
your child’s teacher earlier in the year to bond and build a strong
partnership in your child’s education. The Following are some high-
lights of the past few weeks: Volume 1, Issue 2
Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety
We would like to thank the
High School Key Club, The
OCPD, OCFD and parents for
helping us learn how to tie
our shoes. They worked
tirelessly for 3 days with
our children to learn how to
tie our shoes. Each child
received a charm from the
PTA.
Al of the third grade students worked very
hard on Veteran’s Day posters and essays
that were shared with the city and at our
assembly.
Our school celebrated Veterans’ Day with
a sing-a-long and visits from local veter-
ans, a.k.a HEROS! We were extremely
proud to be invited to Ocean City’s Veter-
an’s Ceremony. Mary Beth Libro (Our
Teacher of the Year), Mr. Dougan (a veter-
an), and the following students attended:
Travis Bickley, Diana Olmedo, Daphne
Brozyna, Isabella Kenny, Alley Alva,
Chloe Care, Sam Ritti, Sadie Tucker,
Abril Bautista, Mimi McCusker
Veteran’s Day
Special thank you to our Ocean
City Fire Department for open-
ing their firehouse to our PK,
Kindergarten and First grade
classes to visit. The tour was
exciting,. We loved squirting
the fire hose and stop, drop-
ping and roll.

Red Ribbon & Anti-Bullying week was super fun with
our theme days! Thank you for helping your child partic-
ipate! This is a great time for students and staff to keep
the learning going but have some unique fun! The theme
days showed individual personalities which were cele-
brated during the week. We ended the week with our
costume parade. Your help and donations for the Hal-
loween parties was appreciated!
THANK YOU PTA—for sponsoring a Kindergarten Welcome Dinner, Book Fair, Fall Craft
Day and the Shoe Tying Clinic!
Thank you to all of our parents and guardians for joining us for Parent
Visitation Day. We enjoyed having you see us in action and visiting our
classrooms. We hope you had fun as we do every day learning!
