As the school year comes to an end, we would like to send a big thank you out to two individuals who are retiring from Orleans Elementary School. Mike has been our janitor and Judy has been a para educator for many years at OES. We will miss them a ton, but hope they really enjoy retirement.



Step Up Day!
All of our students got to go check out their new classrooms and hang out with their new teachers for a while on Tuesday afternoon.

Federal funding is based on participation, so every meal served helps strengthen and sustain the program for the families who count on it most. The more kids and families who participate, the more welcoming and “normal” the program becomes, helping remove the stigma that can sometimes keep people away. Summer meals are for everyone 18 and under, and every person in line helps make that message louder and clearer. Please help spread the word and help us build a stronger, more connected community this summer!

Students had fun practicing batting and fielding in PE class this week!

Did you know that fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins that help your body grow strong and stay healthy? Try to “eat the rainbow” by choosing fruits and vegetables of different colors each day. Each color provides different nutrients your body needs. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps keep your eyes healthy and supports good vision—especially in dim light!
