Oak Valley Middle School

Last week, sixth grade scientists learned about the parts of a triple beam balance and how to use it. Then, they applied their knowledge to measure the masses of different candies.

We had a GREAT time at the Welcome Back Activity this afternoon! Thanks to everyone that joined us and to our WEB leaders for putting on a fun-filled event. 😄

Today in 7th grade science, students checked out cells of cool creatures and learned how to use microscopes.

Our cycling team, Huron Valley United, won the first place team award for the middle school category at their third MISCA race of the series at Bloomer Park. Four OVMS students are on this team. Congratulations to our cyclists!

Oak Valley students - come to next Thursday’s Welcome Back Activity for an afternoon of fun! Tickets are on sale at all lunches. We hope to see you there.

Our staff and students rocked out our first spirit day this year. Concert t-shirt day was a big hit.

Our 7th & 8th grade band and choir students enjoyed their annual trip this past weekend. They started at CMU in clinics where they practiced for their upcoming concerts and then spent time at Great Wolf Lodge and Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. They also enjoyed dune rides before returning to Oak Valley.

Our ASD program's visit to Indian Springs Metropark was fantastic! We saw fish, frogs, birds, and ducks. Not to mention the beautiful views while hiking in the rain. We love our adventures together.

We had a blast at our Spring Pep Assembly last Friday. Students and staff participated in relays, tug of war, and musical chairs. Teacher Mock Election winners were also announced. It was a great way to head into the weekend.
