Olivet Variety Show -- April 12, 2013The Olivet Variety Show was a great success! The show included signing, dancing and musical performances. It was wonderful to see our talented students perform.

A special thank you to: Jodie Lau (Director), Kaesa Enemark (Emcee), Pamell Gallagher and Geri Brown (Choral group), Bonnie Polkinghorn (program), and the other members of the Variety Show Committee and Volunteers (Jessica Biagini, Leslie McCormick, Amy Harrington, Cambria Adams, and Monique Walker). Schaefer Beautification Day -- April 28, 2013Earlier this year, teachers and students developed plans for creating a schoolwide garden as part of project-based learning. Parents, teachers and students worked hard to clear space, weed, and build garden boxes as part of the Schaefer Garden Project. Thanks to the student, teachers and parent volunteers the project is moving forward. Special thanks to Tawnya Martin, Tracy Henry, Karie Seliga, Lynn Garlock, and Joe Hamp for their work this year to bring the garden project to fruition.
