THANKS TO ALL OF OUR INCREDIBLE OMHS PEER HELPERS FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO A SUCCESSFUL FIELD DAY!! WE RELY ON THEM EACH AND EVERY YEAR AND THEY ALWAYS COME THROUGH.

ORDER FORMS FOR OUR 2016 FIELD DAY TSHIRTS ARE COMING HOME NEXT TUESDAY, MARCH 15. WE WILL BE TAKING ORDERS MARCH 16-23.
SHIRTS ARE $12 AND ANY CHECKS NEED TO BE MADE OUT TO OMIS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD SELECTS A SHIRT SIZE AND COLOR ON THEIR FORM.
AFTER RUNNING INTO SOME COLD TEMPS LAST SEMESTER, ONLY HALF OF OUR CLASSES WERE ABLE TO COMPLETER THEIR ARCHERY AND BADMINTON UNITS. MONDAY WE WILL RESUME THAT ROTATION.
WE HAVE NOW BEGUN OUR RHYTHMS UNIT, WHICH CONSISTS OF TINIKLING ( PHILIPPINE FOLK DANCE) AND LINE DANCING. IN ADDITION TO HAVING A LOT OF FUN, WE ARE FOCUSING ON PICKING UP ON AND MOVING IN RHYTHM WITH DIFFERENT BEATS, THROUGH THE USE OF A DRUM AND/OR MUSIC. WE ALSO HAVE DISCUSSED THE VALUE OF HAVING RHYTHM IN ANY ACTIVITY WE ARE INVOLVED IN AND SPECIFICALLY HOW THAT CAN LEAD TO SUCCESS IN THOSE ACTIVITIES.
WE JUST RECENTLY COMPLETED OUR GYMNASTICS UNIT. DURING THIS UNIT, STUDENTS WERE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN TUMBLING, INDIVIDUAL AND PARTNER BALANCING STUNTS, AND WORK ON THE SPRINGBOARD AND VAULTING BOX. WITH STUDENTS DOING FORWARD AND BACKWARDS ROLLS, CARTWHEELS AND ROUNDOFFS, HEADSTANDS AND HANDSTANDS AND FRONT HANDSPRINGS ON THE SPRINGBOARD, IT WAS AN ACTIVE TIME IN THE GYM.
WE WANT TO WISH ALL OF OUR OMIS STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES A SAFE AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY. ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU BACK ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30. WE WILL CONTINUE WORKING ON ARCHERY AND BADMINTON WHEN WE RETURN FROM THE BREAK.
WE ARE WRAPPING UP OUR UNITS WITH SOME FUN DAYS OF STATIONS, WORKING ON JUGGLING AND CUP STACKING SKILLS, AS WELL AS A VARIETY OF OTHER FUN ACTIVITIES.
