No tricks, but lots of crafty & tasty treats and great fun for MHS students this afternoon as they celebrated in costumed style! Thanks to all of the staff members, parents, and families who made this day so great for all of our students! (See previous posts for Kindy and 1st grade events from earlier this morning. This album contains mostly 2nd-5th grade.)

Check your local listings for trick-or-treating times in your town, and be safe! And don't forget to "FALL BACK" one hour at 2am on Sunday morning, November 1st. Enjoy your "extra" hour!!!

'Tis the season for the big ORANGE fruit, and MHS 1st graders got a hands-on (and hands-in!) experience when it came to the annual Pumpkin Mania Intersession today. Each student brought in one pumpkin that was measured, weighed, rolled, and loved! The first graders learned to estimate, graph, and tally. Students also had the opportunity to engage in math counting with pumpkin seeds, create original uses for a pumpkin, write about their pumpkin (and their own!) uniqueness, check out the guts of the pumpkin, and graph how much they liked or didn't like what was on the inside. Their faces told the whole story, and the results were ahead of the 'carve'!

The gorgeous weather and beautiful fall hues made the perfect backdrop for the annual MHS Kindergarten Fall Intersession! As part of a hands-on, collaborative effort to engage students, MHS kindergarten teachers coordinated the first of three "seasonal" intersessions that directly connect to education standards. Students were asked to choose three activities from a selection of autumn-related topics to explore while interacting with peers and other teachers they normally don't see during their regular school day. The fall intersession enabled students to break out of their normal routine and experience activities such as nature discovery, leaf art, football frenzy, batty bats, and apple tasting, among others. All activities were designed to keep the students' different learning styles in mind while also connecting to a host of other standards in the areas of science, math, art, social studies and language arts.

The Orange Inclusive Preschool was awash with police, firefighters, fairy princesses, and pumpkins today...but there would be no 'dragon' of da-feet when it came to trick or treating with the Central Office staff! Both the morning and afternoon preschool set enjoyed circling the loop in front of the school, greeting administrators, staff members, and gathered family members, and excitedly checking out their acquired haul!

Congratulations to the 100+ amazing vocalists who performed in Wednesday night's fantastic Fall Choir Concert under the direction of Dr. Dalton Phillips! The hour-long concert featured OHS A Ca****la, Nothin' But Treble, the Orange High School Choir, the 8th Grade Choir, and two numbers featuring a combined chorus. Repertoire ranged from traditional to pop, from choreographed numbers to classic music through the decades. Students were featured speakers and soloists and assisted by Accompanist Christopher Neiner, Music Tutor Kiko Weinroth, and Drummer Sam Melvey. Great job to all involved!!!

The OHS French Club got a commencez en avance (jump start) on “Veille de la Toussaint” (aka Halloween) this week when the students watched “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” in French, enjoyed snacks, and competed in a “la Meilleure Momie Contest” (the Best Mummy!). Which ‘momie’ is your favorite?! Thanks to Adviser Tara Mack for providing the photographs.
