🤖☀️ Summer learning is in full swing in Ms. Farber’s classroom! Our 2nd & 3rd graders put their coding skills to the test by programming Finch robots to navigate through mazes. Meanwhile, our 4th & 5th graders explored engineering by learning about trebuchets and building their own using VEX kits. Their creations launched projectiles up to 13 feet! 💡🚀 #ThunderProud

🎉 Congratulations to Avery James and Leah Klevgaard for proudly representing Osseo-Fairchild at Badger Girls State! During this week-long leadership and government program, Avery and Leah gained firsthand experience in how government works by campaigning for office, debating issues, and serving in mock local and county governments. 🏛️ Avery was elected as Publicity Agent for the City of Butternut and Register of Deeds for Conradt County. She also served on the Health and Service Commission. 🏛️ Leah was elected as both Publicity Agent and Treasurer for the City of Pine and was appointed to the Finance Commission. Her city also celebrated victories in the Penny Wars and City Expo competitions! ❤️ Both students participated in the Service to Veterans interest group, creating handmade items that will be sent to military members serving overseas. Way to represent OFSD with pride! 🧡 #ThunderProud #FutureLeaders

Sometimes the best reading spot isn't a desk or a chair... it's under a table with a good book and a friend! 📚😊

Moments like these remind us that a love of reading can happen anywhere. We love seeing our students get comfortable, dive into a story, and enjoy learning together.

One of the many things that makes our school district special is the connection between students of all ages. Through our Teacher Assistant (T.A.) Program, high school students are able to work in an elementary classroom, building relationships, supporting teachers, and gaining valuable experience working with younger learners.

The impact goes far beyond helping in the classroom. Strong bonds are formed, positive role models emerge, and our younger students gain mentors they look up to.

This photo captures that connection! First grader Piper was excited to attend our high school musical and support Mailah, who served as a T.A. in her classroom and was a lead in the production.

Thank you to all of our Teacher Assistants for the incredible difference you made in our elementary classrooms. We are proud of the leadership, kindness, and positive example you provide for our youngest Thunder students.
