We were so fortunate to receive an important visit on Wednesday. State Representatives Tarik Khan and Chris Rabb awarded Dr. Bill Latimer and Administrators at Chestnut Hill College with a citation commending their generosity.
The representatives took the time to visit each OMC classroom to give some motivational speeches to our children. Both representatives were quite impressed with the children’s knowledge, our classrooms, the way our teachers interacted with our students, and our ability to continue academic learning after the school fire. Representative Rabb remarked after one of Ms. Byrne’s lessons about difference between effect and affect, “Wow, the way Ms. Byrne taught that information to the students really made me understand the meaning of those words!”
We are so happy Chestnut Hill college has been recognized for housing our beautiful school, and that we are a part of this amazing college community.

Athletes Luncheon:
The Athletes Luncheon will be held on Tuesday, June 6th at CHC. This is the first year we are hosting this event and it will be a small recognition of our athletes' successes. If the athletes enjoy this type of event, we can work on a larger one for next year. We will enjoy this special time together.
