There was so much to celebrate in December! Here are some snapshots from the Okeechobee School District Track Meet. The athletes were well prepared and had a fun day. Thank you Coach Spearow and congratulations to all of our student athletes.








🌟Health screenings and lunch are also provided!
🚀We’re excited to invite families to walk their students to class in the morning beginning Tuesday, Jan 6th, from 7:40am- 8:10am. We believe this process will help foster connection, communication, and a sense of belonging.
🌟With safety protocols in place, this initiative allows us to start each day together, supporting students, families, and our school community.

Tomorrow’s dismissal is 11:30, hooray!
We’re wrapping up school for winter break day.
Pack up your backpacks, say your goodbyes,
Time for hot cocoa, snowflakes, and pies! ☕🍪
Relax, have fun, enjoy the cheer,
We’ll see you all back in the new year! 🎉✨
