Kindness is our February CKH word of the month. We have enjoyed making conscious efforts to be kind to others. We have focused on showing kindness through positive affirmations, compliments, encouragement, and through kind actions. Our kindergarten teachers set up a hot cocoa bar for our staff today. It's the little things that brighten our day! Thank you to our kindergarten teachers for spreading kindness!

Fourth grade students have been reading and learning about “The Robot Revolution”. They read several articles that focused on the pros and cons of technology such as GPS, robots in the workplace, self driving cars, and drones. Members of the Russellville Police Department and Russellville Fire Dept. put on a presentation with two of their drones. They explained how drones help our community in the event of an emergency, such as finding a missing person or helping fight a fire. Special thanks to Mr. Jones and Officer Harris for putting this assembly together for our fourth graders!

Annie the Guinea pig has been a member of OHE for 9 years! She passed away on Thursday, January 30th of old age and natural causes. She brought joy to many students over the years in Mrs. Monk’s classroom, Mrs. McGahee's classroom, and the Science lab. Her adorable face and cute squealing will be missed. She spent her last days eating her favorite fresh fruits and vegetables and getting lots of attention. ❤️
