Welcome to 6th Grade!!!
I am so excited to begin this new school year.

These are here to support your learning and to ensure you feel successful when completing assignments. If you need any additional support, please reach out to me through email!

Meet Mrs. Searles
Hello everyone! My name is Breanna Searles and I teach 6th grade ELA and Math. I graduated from Graceland University in May of 2019. I grew up in a small town in Iowa and moved to Odessa after meeting my husband, Talon, who graduated from OHS. We enjoy spending time with friends, family, and our dog Ruby, going on travel adventures, and watching our favorite sports teams!
Prior to teaching 6th grade at OMS, I taught 6th, 5th, and 2nd grade! I am also the OMS Cheer Club coach this year.
I want to make sure that I am here to support each student and their parents any way I can. Please feel free to contact me anytime throughout the year. I can't wait to finally meet everyone and get this year started!
