At OFRS, we feel it is important to provide our students with leadership opportunities. These experiences allow children to develop character, understand perspectives of others and build communication and social skills.
Our Fifth Graders enjoy participating in the "Kindergarten Helpers" leadership activity. Each morning, 5th grade students are assigned to kindergarten classes to assist with morning procedures such as classroom routines and navigating the building to deliver information to the main office. This responsibility allows our 5th graders to develop relationships with our youngest students and become mentors and role models. We are proud of our 5th graders for taking an active role in strengthening our school community.
