Observing that “ah ha” moment with students is amazing. Observing it in action with your own child, PRICELESS!

6 years ago today we lost my Dad to cancer. My Dad was the one that encouraged me to get into education! So in honor of today, I am challenging everyone to give a shoutout to the people that encouraged you, took a chance on you, or someone that you look up to!

Every Friday morning at OQ is a dance party Friday. Since we're not at the building today, the staff put together a virtual dance party video! Proud of the team for continuing to find ways to bring what we do daily to our students in a virtual way!
