Gobble Off 2019!

Submitted by riley.winward on

We had our annual Orchard Hills Gobble Off today! It is such a fun tradition, and is always very entertaining. :) One participant from every class was picked to gobble in the Gobble Off. They competed with their grade level, and the winner of that round went on to the K-2nd grade and 3rd-6th grade competitions. Each class winner won a toy turkey, grade level winners received a trophy, and the 2 overall winners won a gift card for a turkey! Good job to all who participated! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Author Visits Sixth Graders

Submitted by riley.winward on

Lance Conrad, an author, came and visited 6th grade! He entertained the students with stories and jokes. He also taught about the importance of characters in stories.  He said that characters need to have flaws in order to be able to connect to the reader. Thank you, Mr. Conrad!
