Pennies for Patients
Oatville Student Council has chosen to support the Leukemia Society in their March community service. As you know, leukemia remains the leading cause of death in children and you adults under the age of 20. A sibling of several Oatville students was diagnosed with Leukemia, so this is our way to show support for the family and a great opportunity to teach our students about compassion and caring for others. Please send pennies and coins (any donation) with your child to school by March 11. The class that raises the most money will receive a special celebration.
Thank you for Your Support

Oatville Students Make AYP and Achieve Standard of Excellence
Congratulations to our last year's 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students on their outstanding performance on the Kansas Assessments The Oatville students made the building Standard of Excellence (established by the state department) in both reading and math. The scores were high enough to achieve the state's Standard of Excellence in reading, math, and 5th grade writing! Again, great job to our teachers and staff as well as the hard work from our students for meeting such high standards.
Volunteers Needed
The school is looking for parents to help with several projects around the school and building. As always, the teachers are in need of volunteers to read with students, tutor students, make copies and various other tasks. In addition, there are some outside areas that need attention. If you are willing to help, please call the office at 554-2290.
Oatville News Network
The staff and students are so excited about the continuation of closed circuit broadcasting which is being used for morning announcements each day. The 5th grade ONN crew and the Tech Squad have been busy learning the equipment and producing morning news broadcasts for Oatville staff and students. A special thank you to Mrs. Omenski and Mrs. Williams for organizing this project and the Oatville PTA for providing the funds to purchase the equipment.
Oatville PRIDE!
Throughout the year, Oatville students have worked on Oatville PRIDE (Preparation, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Excellence). In addition, we have discussed a different character word each month to emphasize what it means to be a person with character. Our words were Caring, Manners, Responsibility, Respect, Integrity, and Self-Discipline. Encourage your child to practice these words throughout the summer with family and peers.
