OCPS third graders are kicking off the year strong in music class!
Students in Ms. Smith's class jumped right in with percussion instruments—like drums and rhythm sticks—to sharpen their note reading skills. Music literacy is a key part of becoming a well-rounded musician, and we had a great time reinforcing these important concepts through hands-on playing.

Way to go, third grade!

September was full of fun with Mrs. McCabe in Computer Science and Library!

Our students dove into coding challenges with Indi robots, working together in small groups to solve problems and think like programmers.

Second and third graders got hands-on with a brand-new robot friend — Kibo! They learned to code using repeat loops and sensors, sparking creativity and curiosity with every command.

During library, students cozied up in our flexible seating areas to explore exciting new books — the perfect way to relax and read!

Our students visited classrooms offering coffee and affordable snack items for teachers and staff to purchase.

Proceeds from the cart will directly support the OCPS Community Compassion Collection, which makes monthly donations to various local charities.

Back to School Night

Yesterday, Ocean City Primary School honored the memory of September 11th with a powerful message: kindness, compassion, and community matter, every single day! Our students took part in OCPS Day of Kindness, a school-wide initiative to show gratitude and support for the heroes in our community.

Pre-K and Kindergarten traced and decorated handprints, each one sharing a way they can help others.

Grades 1–3 created heartfelt thank-you cards for local community helpers:
- Grade 1: Hospital Staff
- Grade 2: Firefighters
- Grade 3: Police Officers

These small acts of kindness are our way of honoring those we lost, and celebrating the spirit of unity that brings us all together.
