May/June 2025
Teacher Appreciation Week
Celebrated each year during the first week in May, Teacher Appreciation Week is a special time to say 'thank you’ to the extraordinary educators who work tirelessly with children and families throughout the year. This year, each team member was given a beautiful bouquet of flowers along with strawberries dipped in chocolate.
We thank everyone who made our teachers at OMS feel special.
Thank You OMS Team!
As the school year ends and we conclude our chapter at our current campus, we are grateful to our entire team for another special school year. We would especially like to recognize two members who will be moving on: Mr. Shawn and Ms. Maryam.
"As I end my teaching career, I’d like to thank you for all your support. I will miss your children the most; they are a gift. My wife and I have purchased a home in Ventura where we’ll be moving this summer.”
Congratulations to Mr. Shawn on his retirement! We hope he realizes every happiness as he starts this new chapter of his life.
“It’s been a true honor to work with such bright, curious, and kind-hearted children. I’m so proud of all they’ve accomplished and the growth we’ve shared together. Thank you to the wonderful families and this incredible community for your constant support and trust.”
We wish Ms. Maryam the very best as she is relocating to New Jersey.
