Reminder - the Fall Into Reading Challenge ends tomorrow, September 30th. Prizes are as follows: everyone who completes the challenge of reading and logging 210 minutes for the month of September will receive a poster and be entered to win one of ten 3D printed items. Happy Reading!

Here are our Beanstack Reading Leaders from last week. Big shoutout to 4th Grade for having so many on the leaderboard and Elijah for two weeks on the leaderboard as a kindergartner! Have a great week, and keep reading.

We cannot let yesterday go without giving all of our Teacher Assitants a HUGE shoutout! These staff members go above and beyond for all our students. They are the heartbeat behind so much of what we do at Overdale. Thanks to them, our students are learning to be awesome mustangs! Thank you to Mrs. Newman, Mrs. Cummins, Mrs. Yates, Ms. Hunter, Ms. Stivers, Mrs. Bowersox and Ms. Southard!

Today is Trusted Adult Thursday! A trusted adult is someone you can count on for help, advice, or simply to listen. Students showed their appreciation by choosing a Trusted Adult in the building and sending them a Certificate of Gratitude to say thank you.

Reminder: Cheer tryouts are at OES today!

It’s Wear Green Wednesday! Green represents Start with Hello Week and our promise to be kind, safe, and inclusive. Today, students took the Start with Hello Pledge and added to our Promise Chain by sharing how they’ll show kindness and help others feel included.

4th and 5th grade girls basketball tryouts are coming on Friday, October 3 from 6-7:30 PM in the Overdale Elementary Gym. Students may be picked up and dropped off at the rear of the school behind the gym at door #10. Game and practice schedules will be shared after try-outs.

We are 95% of our families and we are 2nd place in the district that have completed this household income form. Thank you to the families that have completed the form.

To continue providing free breakfast and lunch for your students, please note that the household income form must be completed annually. This saves you money! Meals at schools without the CEP program cost $1.75 for breakfast and $3.00 for lunch.
“170 days x $4.75 = $807.50”
You can access the form by clicking the link below or scanning the QR code. Please ensure that you list all BCPS students residing in the household. This is an annual program that requires compliance to continue.
If not completed online, staff will distribute paper copies in the coming weeks. To avoid this inconvenience, kindly share this information with fellow parents of BCPS students. Thank you for helping us get the word out!
