An OFRS 5th grade class got a visit from a teacher from France. Their classes have been pen pals this school year and she had the opportunity to come meet the students in person. C'était une expérience géniale! (It was a great experience!)
What a beautiful day for a mindfulness lesson outside! Today students learned about the power of choosing our thoughts in fun and interactive ways. Thank you to the PTO for this wonderful experience!
OFRS Students participated in a Mindfulness program with Sue Murphy of 3toBeMe who helped us understand the importance of our mental wellbeing. She introduced breathing tools, monitoring our heartbeat and using positive language and thinking. We look forward to learning more strategies with her next visits!
