As we wrap up another incredible year at ORMS, we want to take a moment to say thank you. To our dedicated volunteers, whose time and energy make everything possible; to our board members who show up with heart and hustle all year long; and to our amazing administration, teachers, and staff, who pour themselves into our students every single day: we are so grateful for you.

The ORMS PTO wants to take a moment to celebrate someone very special to our school community.

After 9 years at ORMS, our incredible Administrative Assistant, Denise Diharce, is retiring! Denise has been a constant source of support, warmth, and dedication, and her contributions to this school have touched so many of us over the years.

To say she will be missed is an understatement. We are so grateful for everything she has done for ORMS, for our students, and for the PTO.

Denise, we wish you all the joy and rest you so richly deserve. Congratulations and happy retirement!

06/15/2026

Tonight we celebrate our Oyster River eighth graders as they wrap up their middle school journey!

Congratulations to the Class of 2030 on reaching this milestone. We hope tonight's celebration is everything you deserve after a great year. As you head off to ORHS next fall, we wish you all the very best. The friendships you've made, the memories you've created, and the experiences you've had at ORMS will stick with you.

A reminder to all eighth graders: please plan to arrive at 5:30 pm tonight. Enjoy every moment, and best of luck as your next chapter begins.

Go Bobcats!
