Andover Elementary School- OCPS

Today our hearts were touched in the most beautiful way. The 5th grade class donated a memory stone and The Herrand Family donated a bench, in honor of Mr. Mark Miessler. It has now been placed in our school garden—a peaceful spot where his kindness, laughter, and impact will continue to live on. What a meaningful tribute to a teacher who gave so much to our students and our community. We will always remember Mark, and it’s especially moving knowing that some of the students he taught are now preparing to leave Andover this year. His influence continues to guide them forward.

Forever in our hearts, Mr. Miessler. 💛🌿

We are so excited for this class who began their elementary journey with LaunchEd. They are resilient, kind, helpful and hard working. We wish them all the best in this new journey to middle school! 🎉🎊 Remember this day! The sense of pride and accomplishment you take from it. Use that to move towards your next big goal! 🌸🎉🎊🌸

Class of 2026, we’re grateful you came back to walk these halls once more. Your story started here, but the next chapters are yours to write. May your journey be full of wonder, courage, and moments that remind you how far you’ve come. Congratulations! 🎉🎊🎓🎊🎉
