Elementary students attending an OHS event need to be accompanied by an adult. If an elementary student shows up without an adult, they will not be allowed to enter into the game / event. We are asking elementary students to sit in the stands during the games due to the safety concerns that have already surfaced during our first home game. Thank you to our parents for understanding we are striving to create a safe experience for all our spectators. Go Spartans!

Some of our 4th and 5th grade students just wrapped up their first project of the year in art class! They explored one of the 7 Elements of Art-Line-by creating 3D paper line sculptures. It was a fun and hands-on way to kick off the year, and the results were amazing!

This morning, the faculty and staff at Olympia North participated in a team-building activity that brought both creativity and reflection to our day. Each person decorated a flower pot and planted a succulent—serving as a beautiful metaphor for the time, love, and care we pour into our students to help them thrive and grow throughout the year.

New Staff Spotlight! Mrs. Larkin is joining our team as the new K-2 Special Education Teacher. Most of her previous 16 years in education were spent teaching reading intervention in South Wilmington, Cambridge, and most recently in Pekin. She switched lanes last year to support students with special needs. Mrs. Larkin took a road trip this summer to explore West Virginia’s New River Gorge, South Carolina’s historical sites, beaches, bottomland hardwood forest, North Carolina’s artisanal crafts, as well as Tennessee’s tree tops and Ocoee River rapids. She is delighted to be a Spartan and serve Oly students and their communities.
