September 8 Announcements

Enrolling in Publix Partners is an easy way to support OMMS!

Students that wear white to the volleyball games will get free admission today!  8th grade plays at 5, 7th grade plays at 6! Students must go home after school and return for the game.  Good luck to our teams as they play Homewood!

Even though breakfasts and lunches are provided for all students at no cost, if you feel that you would qualify for Free or Reduced Meals, please click here to fill out the application. Other benefits are available to students who qualify.

Do you love arguing? Have you ever thought about joining the debate team? Well, now is your chance! Come by Mrs. Rich’s room (B14) to pick up an application. Completed applications must be turned in by Wednesday, September 15th! 

Phase 1 Community Service group applications may be picked up from the front office or Mrs. Nobles’ room (A-19). Phase 1 is a community service group that meets once per month to do community service projects to benefit people in need. The group is open to prior members and 6th graders. Completed applications must be returned to A-19 by September 10th.

Are you interested in video game design, creating your own animations, and programming robots?  If you answered yes, make sure to stop by Mrs. Carter’s room, D2, to pick up a flyer for this year’s coding club.  The club is open to students in grades 6-8.  Applications are due September 15th. CLICK HERE to fill out the Google form application.

The yearbook staff needs your help!  While the staff works very hard to take photos of all the OMMS events and happenings, we would love for you to send us any photos you think would be a great addition to this year’s yearbook!  All you have to do is download the free app called Balfour ImageShare (the icon is blue with a white IS).  Once you create an account, use the school code 226551 to upload photos.  All photos are sent directly to the yearbook staff!  Perhaps YOUR photo could be featured in this year’s book!  Please see the attached flyer for more detailed instructions.  For any questions, please contact Mrs. Harding, lharding@shelbyed.org or talk with a yearbook staff member.

The ticket does not need to be transferred to your student.  *The family pass includes 4 people, living under the same roof.* Please see the attached PDF for more information about season passes.  NO CASH will be accepted at the gate.
