Overstreet Elementary-5th Grade

We stopped by MakerSpace this week to take a look at how our 5th graders were working together to solve problems. Students were given limited supplies, a time limit, and the challenge to build the tallest tower. They worked in groups and used their materials to create building components and design the structures.

What a joy to welcome our brand new 5th graders to Overstreet this week for the school year! Our staff is focused and ready to do the heart work to help every child grow and succeed. Rest up, Jackets! See you Monday!

We loved welcoming students to Overstreet for our First Days of School! We are looking forward to a fun 5th grade year filled with excellent learning experiences! See you again tomorrow, Jackets!

What a joy to welcome our new families to Overstreet during Open House on Thursday! Our team was excited to meet new students and parents and offer a first look at classrooms. We're looking forward to a new year of excellent learning experiences! We can't wait to see you in class this week for our tiered start!

Excellence giving back! We enjoyed sharing with our community at the annual VIVA Art Charity Celebration! The annual VIVA art block sale is a student-led project start to finish as 5th graders in our gifted art program estimate costs, create the art, research sale prices, sell artwork and determine the recipients of their proceeds.

This year, the project raised a whopping $2000, and students chose to give back to Kaylen Robinson family to help with medical expenses related to complications from ROHHAD syndrome this past year. They also gave to the JL King Center, and to Riley’s Purpose (a special needs prom organized by Ebony Yates in honor of her daughter, Riley Yates). Finally, they reinvested funds back into our VIVA program so we can continue creating our wood blocks and providing new experiences and projects for VIVA students. In addition, they donated to our chicken coop program to help cover the cost of food and supplies so it can continue operating next year.

One of our favorite events of the year, the Celebration included remarks from Mayor Lynn Spruill who commended students for their commitment to giving back to the community where they live.

We're proud of you, Overstreet VIVA Jackets! Thank you to Bell Building Supply, Pete Mulrooney, Overstreet PTO and all our parents and teachers for your support of this wonderful yearly project.

Here is our full set of photos from our pep rally last week! We are so proud of all of our students and the hard work they have done throughout the year! 🐝

We are so proud of each of our students, and we know they are going to rock their tests tomorrow! Our students and teachers have worked so hard, and we know all of their hard work will pay off! Take your time and do your best! You've got this! 🐝

Just some encouragement on our hallways as we go into testing! Thank you to our counselors who made our hallways look great! We are so proud of our students, and we know you will all do great on your tests! 🐝
