Our West High League of Leaders stopped by today to meet our Explorers and hand out their trading cards. We are looking forward to our lunches with these amazing leaders starting in January






So far we have collected 101 toys for the Salvation Army toy drive. Thank you to all who have generously donated already! Our Student Leadership team will be collecting new unwrapped toys for two more days.


Today OES collected 20 toys for our toy drive to benefit the Salvation Army. Student leadership will be out collecting each morning at arrival every day this week. We appreciate the generosity of staff and families to brighten the holidays for children in need.

Last week we celebrated our amazing support staff with a luncheon, but we wanted to let them know how THANKFUL we are to have them at Ostmann! Our building substitutes along with office, copy, and recess clerks are the best!




Thank you to all who generously donated for the Zumwalt food pantry during last Friday's movie night. We appreciate how our community comes together for a great cause!

The holidays are almost here! Ring in the season tonight, tomorrow night or with two chances on Saturday to catch White Christmas at West High! Info and tickets: https://whs.fz.k12.mo.us/o/whs/article/1830156




OES students and staff collected 40 turkeys for those in need this holiday season. The Student Leadership Club enjoyed helping with the collection and flipping the numbers on the counter! Happy Thanksgiving!





Have you ever wondered what teachers do on Early Release Days? Today we discussed what math proficiency "looks" like across grade levels within a math standard and how each grade level plays an integral part. This vertical teaming strategy focuses on improving student learning.





So proud of these FZ West High student leaders, can't wait to see their impact on our Explorers! #ExplorerNation

Thank you Veterans! Today we celebrated Veterans Day and honored those that have served and are serving our country. OES thanks you for your service, bravery, and dedication to preserve our freedom!

Check out these cute book character creations! We love the creativity demonstrated and excitement students have for reading.





Yesterday we honored our custodial staff with sweet notes and treats for Custodial Day. Mr. Mike and Mrs. Kim work with a smile each day to keep our building looking amazing. Our evening custodians Mr. Mike Z and Ms. Christy ensure our classrooms are ready for learning each day.

Our first day of 5th Grade camp was amazing! Campers were exhausted but had so much fun. We are excited to kick off another wonderful day at camp!
