Good morning staff and students!  Welcome to Ovid-Elsie Middle School where we are inspiring life-long learners to achieve their full potential and excel in a changing world.  Today is Monday 3rd March, 2025.  Please stand for the pledge…..

Happy Birthday today to Skylar J and Gabe L. Have a wonderful birthday guys!

In Sports News:

Congratulations to 6th Grade boys Red Cedar Silver basketball team on winning their end of season tournament in Montrose this weekend with a perfect 4-0 record!

Today is the beginning of March is Reading Month.  We will have lots of cool activities and competitions coming your way so keep an eye on your email for updates.  Our first March is Reading Month dress up day is Thursday: Wear Words on a Shirt Day.  School appropriate as always!

LUNCH:

Sloppy joe, french fries, peach cup and milk.

And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:

Question: What state in the US does not observe daylight savings time in the Spring?

Answer: Arizona

Class: Miller

Note: DST has been widely accepted across the country, but it’s still not required by federal law. U.S. residents resistant to springing forward and falling back each year might consider moving to Arizona. The state isn’t exactly desperate for extra sunlight, so every spring they skip the time jump. 

Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
