Friday April 12th was "Purple Up" Day to celebrate and the month of the Military Child and to support military families. Thank you to Major R. Poyourow for stopping by OCRS and a Humvee for our students to see up close!
4th graders spent time this morning with Dr. Paolucci learning about the science behind eggs.

April is the Month of the Military Child and we encourage all students to show their support by wearing something purple to school on Friday, April 12th. If your child does not have anything purple to wear, no worries! The PTA has purple rubber bracelets for OCRS students to wear to show their support.
