This week for Teacher Appreciation week, we celebrated the incredible teachers and staff at OCIS who go above and beyond every day to support, guide, and inspire our students. From the classrooms to the front office, from the hallways to the lunchroom—their hard work, care, and dedication did not go unnoticed. We are so grateful to our amazing PTA for the incredible treats, gifts, and surprises throughout the week. They truly went above and beyond to make our teachers and staff feel special and appreciated. The movie/Hollywood theme was a huge hit and made everyone feel like a star!
