The week of May 8th, our OLHMS staff and students welcomed our future Mustangs! 5th grade students from Hannum, Sward, Kolmar, Covington, and Hometown Elementary School were welcomed at the front of our building by Dr. McNichols and Max the Mustang to start their day off. Awaiting our future Mustangs were 8th grade Ambassadors ready to assist with the exciting day.
When students entered their future middle school, they were in awe. Phrases like, “Oh my gosh!,” “This is amazing!,” and "I can't wait to go here!" were whispered as students entered the main hallway. After 5th grade students were welcomed into the building, they were welcomed again by Dr. McNichols where he gave an overview of their tour and introduced the 8th grade Ambassadors. From there, 5th grade students were divided into small groups and led by 8th grade Ambassadors, who provided them with information and answered any question(s) they had. As 5th grade students went on a tour around the building with our leaders, they met teachers, support staff, and current OLHMS students. When one student from Kolmar was asked what he liked most about OLHMS so far, he said, “I really love how big this school is. Everyone seems so nice, and I can't wait to be here in a few months.” As students continued on their tour, they were able to visit classrooms, have a Q & A session with a panel of 8th grade students, learn more about OLHMS, and get acclimated with the building.
We are so excited for our future Mustangs to join us at OLHMS soon!
