We did it! We finished our first week of school! It has been the best week of my career! We have the best students and staff here at Olympus Junior. Thank you for sending such wonderful students to our school. We LOVE them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To that end, it has been so much fun to welcome our students back and see our hallways filled with life, smiles, and that special energy that can only come from a junior high filled with more than 800 sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our students also enjoyed a couple of special treats this week. Student Government welcomed students with donuts<\/strong>, and our wonderful PTA provided popsicles<\/strong>. We are grateful for the many people who work to make Olympus Junior High a place where students feel welcomed, connected, and excited to be here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs we head into our first full week of school, here are a few things students and families should know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
