What a perfect end to a great week of learning! We capped off the week with our culture day! Students dressed in the culture that represents their heritage. Every continent (other than Antarctica) was proudly represented! It’s hard to believe that the next week is the last one in April! Finally, Thank you to our amazing teachers! You and your students recognized their efforts as OL Smith is very well represented at the Teacher of the Year Awards next week. 22 of our Viking Educators were nominated by you! Thank you!
