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, D-2, 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 8th Grade ELA Department is selling t-shirts in honor of The Outsiders. The t-shirt will be black with gold letters that say “Stay gold.” All profits from t-shirt sales will go towards buying class novels for students who need help purchasing books this year.  Link to purchase:
