Olympia South

It was a red carpet day at Olympia South Elementary! 🎬✨ Today we surprised our students with a movie-themed celebration to honor the incredible growth each class demonstrated on their recent assessment tests. From the moment they walked in and saw the decorations — and especially the red carpet runway — the excitement was priceless! Students were genuinely shocked when they saw just how much growth they had achieved — not only as individuals, but together as a class community. The smiles, cheers, and confidence on display reminded us that growth deserves to be recognized in big ways. We are so proud of our Olympia South students and the dedicated staff who support them every step of the way. 🌟 Here’s to continued growth, learning, and shining bright! #OlympiaSouth #SpartanPride

At Olympia South Elementary, we believe that being a Spartan means more than just doing well in class—it means being a great neighbor and a supportive friend. The month of January, our focus was on Community Building and Caring for Others.

These selected students have gone above and beyond to make our school a kinder, more inclusive place. Whether it was helping a classmate in need, including someone new at recess, or simply spreading positivity, these Super Spartans are leading by example!

First graders at South are busy learning about our communities and what makes them special! Today, we learned about maps and all of their features. Students then worked in groups to create maps of our classrooms. We worked on listening and communication to be good teammates!

We are very lucky to have this group of people! Thank you!

Communication in and out of South has been restored. Thank you for your understanding!

Here area a few videos from our Olympia South Spartan Christmas Follies, enjoy!

The staff at Olympia South Elementary has had so much fun celebrating the holidays this week! We wanted to share a few snapshots of our Christmas spirit as we head into the winter break. We hope these bring a smile to your face!

There is nothing quite like the sound of student laughter to kick off the holidays! ❤️

The staff at Olympia South Elementary wanted to share some of the joy from our "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman" game. It was a game full of Christmas spirit, teamwork, and a lot of toilet paper!

We love making these memories with your children. Happy Holidays from all of us at OSE!

Big cheers for our latest Spartan Spotlights! 🌟 These students were recognized for their incredible empathy. Whether it was lending a helping hand or simply being a friend when someone needed it most, they embody the true Spartan Spirit.

Way to lead with heart, Spartans! #SpartanPride #EmpathyMatters

Our Kindergarten Classes had nursing students from Mennonite College of Nursing visit and share a handwashing lesson. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed relearning ways to stay germ-free.

Olympia South students in each grade level found a special way to honor and celebrate our Veterans today during an all school assembly. We were grateful for all of the Veterans and family members for joining us!

On Veterans Day, and every day, the students and staff of Olympia South Elementary salute and honor the brave men and women who have served our country.

To all veterans, thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your dedication to protecting our freedoms. Your service is a living lesson in patriotism, duty, and citizenship for our students and our entire community.

We are deeply grateful for everything you have done.

Happy Veterans Day!
