May 4 , 2018
Please do not let your child bring a
cell phone or any toys to school,
including RUBIK’S CUBES. If they
come to school, the teacher will
take them and return at the end of
the year.
Car riders may be dropped off
starting at 7 am. At 7:40, students
must be accompanied to the office
by a parent/guardian to be
signed in tardy.
Always drop your student off
with an adult in the car rider line.
For everyone’s safety, we ask that
you do not let them get out of the
car before reaching an adult. (page
12 of your child’s agenda book)
Parents, please remember that
birthday parties for grades 2-5
should be celebrated at the end of
the month during the school’s
“Birthday Celebration.” Please do
not plan to bring in goodies for your
child’s birthday on any other day,
even if you plan to do it at lunch
time (Please refer to page 20 of
your child’s agenda book for more
information).
Okatie Elementary students participated and attended the
annual Special Olympics Event held at May River High
School today. We are so proud of our student's courage,
efforts and support of others. The "Spirit Squad" showed
owlsome school spirit cheering on the many students who
competed in the events. More pictures of our students will
be posted later today or tomorrow once I receive them.
Thank you Mrs. Roxanne Newton for organizing and coor-
dinating the day's events for our Owls! Also kudos to
Nikki Davis, Stephanie Eaton, Diane King, Melissa Lane,
Michelle Mahaney, Meghan Mchale, Ethel Mitchell,
Reeves Montjoy, and Corey Slater
for all of your hard work with our students today.

The following students showed great character in the month of April! We are proud of you!
Kindergarten took a trip to Driessen Beach on Hilton Head Island. Groups
were led by the staff of the Coastal Discovery Museum. Children learned about various plants and animals that
make the beach and ocean their home. Students braved the unusually cold weather and cheerfully enjoyed
searching for items and playing in the sand. They also enjoyed a picnic and
some playtime at the beach play-ground.
The 2nd and 3rd grade students, along with the OES Chorus, put on a
wonderful musical presentation based on children’s literature. The books that
were featured were Alice in Wonderland, Horton Hears a Who, Green Eggs
and Ham, Peter Pan, The Wonderful Wizard of OZ, Little Orphan Annie, and
many more. The students had a wonderful time dressing up as their favorite
book character and connecting what they are learning in their ELA classes to
what they were learning in music class. Great job boys and girls!
Pre-K students took a trip to the Island Playground. Students explored many
gross motor activities like bouncy houses, rock wall climbing, net
climbing, and more. The students enjoyed exploring through play.
Congratulations to the following students for
demonstrating compassion and Forgiveness daily
with staff, friends and peers.

A group of Lady Owls along with Mrs. Alicia Brown, 5th
grade teacher, got together to work on a project to give
back to our local community. They worked to design,
decorate, and stuff bags for local foster children. The
girls held discussions about how to solve their personal
problems through communication and the importance of
staying positive. After they finished their bags, they took
“staying positive” to the next level by asking if they could
include personal notes in the bags to remind the new
owners of the bags to stay positive as well. These beau-
tiful bags are now ready to be delivered to children right
here in the Low Country. The girls walked away with
many smiles and learned the lesson that lifting others up
also lifts us up and the best way to feel positive is to
spread positive. It should be noted this was Mrs.
Brown's birthday gift to self, to purchase items and to
donate those items to an identified charity to spread
kindness and to help others.
Thank you Mrs. Brown for your big heart.
Sunset Family Science Night was enjoyed by fifty plus owls!!! Everyone had a great time looking for
mollusks, crustaceans, building sand castles and tasting the ocean for the first time this year! Many thanks
to Mrs. Lauffer for organizing the event, as well as Mrs. Tuzzo for capturing the special moments. A special
thank you to Mrs. Heaton, Mrs. German, Mrs. Clossman, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Gonzalez, Ms. Hull, Mr. Lauffer,
Ms. Lauffer and Mrs. Montjoy for joining our families for the learning and fun! Parents thank you for coming
out too, we appreciate your time and support!
The 2nd and 3rd grade students were treated to an amazing
performance by the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra on
April 30th. The students learned about the members of the
string family and what made each instrument in that
family different. They also discussed that music is more than
just fast and slow, but that it has an emotion and every
person can interpret the feeling of the music differently.
Thank you to Mary Briggs and the whole orchestra for
allowing us the opportunity to hear such great musicians and
also to Ms. Underhill and the 2nd and 3rd grade teachers for
taking them on this great trip.
Okatie will hosted its final ESOL night of the year. This year’s theme is a Luau! Students and their families enjoyed refreshments, learned about
summer programs, and celebrated this year. Students also performed a hula dance for their
families. The hula was chosen as a way to
embrace all languages, as it is a language of gestures. Thank you for joining us for this fun
family evening!
Thank you to all the family and friends that came out to enjoy
Muffins for Mom the past two days! It was so wonderful to see all
of your happy faces enjoying some quality time together! We
would like to thank our amazing PTO for putting this event on
again this year!
First graders went to Oatland Island in Savannah this week. They had a chance to tour the wildlife preserve and see many species of animals. Some of the favorite animals are the bobcats, the cougars and the alligators. They learned about predators and prey. They also
had a picnic lunch after their two-mile hike through the forest. It was a lot of fun!
In honor of Earth day, Mrs.
German's fifth grade students went
outside and collected beautiful
natural materials to make art.
“Morning altars" are colorful
mandalas that combine nature, art,
and meditation. Making mandalas
are a way of incorporating the
natural world into the everyday,
which encourages positive well-
being, even with the simplest of the
earth's gifts, such as leaves,
flowers, berries, feathers, and
stones. The students created such
beautiful pieces of art that are a
peaceful and creative avenue to
express gratitude for nature, to
practice mindfulness, and to add
meaning to daily life. They had so
much fun making them!
Pre-K Students in Mrs. Woods’ Class
celebrate Earth Day!
Mrs. Martin's first graders recognized Earth Day by
reading the book Miss Rumphius. In this book, the main
character is given the challenge as a child to find a way to
make the earth a more beautiful place. As she grows old,
she never forgets her promise so she begins to plant
flowers everywhere she goes. The students followed the
example of Miss Rumphius and planted flowers outside of
our classroom to make our Okatie world a more beautiful
place.
Mrs. Heaton’s Block 1 and Block 2 went
for a nature walk and collected leaves,
pinecones, sticks, rocks, and even
some litter to create a natural piece of
art! We talked about lines of symmetry
and how many of these items are
natural resources. These beautiful
creations are sometimes called
mandalas or morning altars.
In 1st and 2nd grade STEM lab, stu-
dents took cans from the cafeteria that
were otherwise going in the trash and
reused them as a classroom planter.
The kids were proud to know we saved
some much space in our landfills!
The Rewards for Excellence Program recognizes outstanding communications and public relations efforts by schools, school districts, and educational agencies and associations. The SC/
NSPRA awards program is designed to recognize excellence in every aspect of the public relations effort. The Rewards for
Excellence Program features three awards programs: Medallion, Golden Achievement, and
Publications and Electronic Media. This year, OES was the recipient of two awards for Publications and Electronic
Media. The “Okie Brand” received an Award of Excellence, and our SIC Report to Parents 2017-2018 won an
Award of Merit. Mrs. Leslie Bauer, School Counselor, wrote and submitted the entries, and Mrs. DJ Wilson, Mrs. Laura
Waddell and Mrs. Bauer attended an April luncheon in Columbia, SC to accept the awards on behalf of the school.
