We will be hosting an Open House for Pre-K and Kindergarten students and their families tonight, Monday, August 14th from 5-6PM. Come meet your teachers and explore the school before the first day!
New Olympia teachers spent two days with each other, District administrators, and some veteran teachers getting oriented to Olympia. It is a great group with only four brand new teachers as the others are coming to us with experience in other districts. We ended our time together with a bus tour of all eight communities. Their energy and enthusiasm was impressive!
The Atlanta Christian Church will be working with The Country Aire Restaurant in Atlanta to raise funds for backpacks and school supplies for Olympia South Elementary students. Wednesday, July 12th is the day of the fundraiser - a portion of the sales will be donated towards backpacks and school supplies. We hope to see you there!
We celebrated our 5th Graders today with a class vs. class kickball game! It was a competitive game that went into extra innings! We will certainly miss these kiddos & their competitive edge next year!
Learning should not stop when school’s out! Check out IXL's summer resources for one way to keep the momentum over summer break!

Thanks to all of the Step It Up fundraising efforts this year at Olympia South Elementary, students got to celebrate with the end of the year "Day of Awesome"! We appreciate all of the parent volunteers that made today such a success!
T is for total day of awesome at South! First graders are starting off the morning with bubbles and chalk! Tic tac toe, homemade hopscotch and some fabulous firsties...what more could you ask for?!?
Third graders at Olympia South shouted "Let's Glow!" during their end of the year glow day. Students worked around math stations using highlighters in a fun neon environment.
Our COUNTDOWN to summer started at OSE today with Cap day. While most of the building just wore their hats, first grade kiddos got a surprise cap that all of their friends were able to autograph!

It’s National Administrative Professional’s Day today! To change it up a bit, here is a short poem to celebrate all of the ways that you make Olympia a wonderful place to work and visit. THANK YOU!
Admin assistants, we sing your praise,
For all the tireless work you do each day,
From greeting visitors with a warm smile,
To answering phones with patience and style.
Your skills are many, and your commitment is vast,
You handle all our needs, from first to last,
The schedules, the paperwork, the meetings too,
We don't know how we'd manage without you.
You're often the first friendly face we see,
And your hard work sets the tone for the day to be,
We know we can count on you, without fail,
To keep our schools running smoothly and prevail.
In the midst of all the serious work,
Know that we love all of your little quirks,
Maybe a funny joke or a silly pun,
To brighten up our day and make it fun.
So here's to you, admin assistants,
We appreciate you more than words can say,
You make our school a better place,
And we thank you for it every day!
What a perfect day for our 3rd grade walking field trip to celebrate Earth Day and learn how we can all "do our part". We learned about electric cars, ate Earth Day cookies, and helped clean up our town! Thanks to all who supported our day!!
On Friday we celebrated our Super Spartans for March. These students use their problem solving skills to turn challenges into opportunities! Great job Spartans!
