🏐🧡🖤 VOLLEYBALL YOUTH NIGHT! 🖤🧡🏐

What a special night for our young Orabs! It was so fun to see our them looking up to and learning from the athletes who represent them at the high school level. Nights like this are a great reminder that Orab Nation is a family from the youngest athletes to our high school teams!

Thank you to our high school volleyball players and coaches for being such great role models for our young Orabs! Way to Lead On, Orabs!

🏆🌟 THERE IS A LEADER IN YOU! 🌟🏆

This school year at East Elementary, students are learning about positive habits that can help them grow into confident, responsible leaders.

Each month, students are introduced to a new habit and encouraged to practice it throughout the month. At the end of each month, students who demonstrate the habit are selected to receive a There Is a Leader in You award!

📚 SEPTEMBER - HABIT #1: BE PROACTIVE 📚
Being proactive means taking responsibility, making good choices, and taking action instead of waiting for someone else to tell you what to do.

Congratulations to our September award winners! We are so proud of the way you are showing leadership each and every day! Keep up the amazing work, Orabs!

Our Sheldon Middle School Color Run was a blast! Students enjoyed fun activities, tackled obstacle courses, and, of course, got completely splattered with color along the route!

And, of course, thank you to our Middle School students for all of their hard work fundraising to make this celebration possible. Your efforts paid off with an afternoon full of fun, color, and memories! Way to go Orabs!
