THE #1 THING YOU CAN DO OVER THE SUMMER TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL - AND LIFE - IS READ! READ ANYTHING-BOOKS ABOVE AND BELOW YOUR GRADE LEVEL, NEWSPAPERS, E-BOOKS, MAGAZINES, FOOD LABELS, LETTERS, AUDIO BOOKS, BILLBOARDS...

Our gameshow, sports-style school OBOB book clubs and competitions were a huge success for 2024-25. We again tripled participation, had our 5th grade team win regionals and compete in the state OBOB tournament in Salem. It was an utterly amazing ride. Congratulations, Eagles.
The books for 2025-26 have been released, so it might be a good idea to read some of them now, then again when the school year starts (as one idea). Start thinking about which 2-4 students you'd like to be in a weekly book group with : ) If you have any questions or news, please email Mr. S at bsorensen@pps.net or check out the official OBOB website for the latest information!

I'm trying to decide which CAS club to be a part of for 2025-26. Maybe ♟️chess👑, maybe Dungeons and Dragons.... We'll see ; )
Have a fantastic summer and keep in touch. --Mr. S
