We had such an amazing time participating in the Statewide Read‑A‑Thon on Friday! Our students showed up with incredible energy, cozy pajamas, and so much excitement for reading.

Thank you to our teachers and staff for creating such joyful reading spaces and helping make the morning a huge success. Moments like these remind us how powerful it is when our whole school comes together to celebrate learning.

We’re proud of our Lynx readers and grateful for our Overlake community. Keep turning those pages!

Today we are celebrating the amazing custodians, adult cleaners, and student sweepers who help make Overlake Elementary a clean, safe, welcoming place for our students and staff every single day!
Our custodians do so much more than keep our school looking great. They are always willing to help, take care of the unexpected, and make sure our school feels like a place where everyone belongs. Their hard work often happens behind the scenes, but it makes a BIG difference in our school community!
We are so grateful for all you do for our Lynx family! Thank you for helping make Overlake a wonderful place to learn and grow. 🐾💛
We appreciate you more than you know!

We are looking for two more parents to join our Overlake Community Council this year. Right now, we have more staff members than parents, and state guidelines require that our council have at least two more parent representatives than school employees. This is our final request for parent volunteers who are willing to participate. Our next meeting will be on October 8th, and we will meet four additional times throughout the year. Each meeting is only 30–45 minutes, and we keep them focused, efficient, and meaningful.

Who can serve as a parent representative?
In addition to parents, step‑parents, and grandparents may serve on the council. If you support your student’s education and want to be involved, we would love to have you.

What does the Community Council do?
Reviews school data to identify academic needs
Helps create the School LAND Trust Plan
Advises on school goals in areas like literacy, math, and safety
Strengthens school‑home partnerships
Represents parent voice in schoolwide decision‑making

If you are interested in joining or would like more information, please reach out to me directly. Your voice and perspective make a meaningful difference in our school community.
Thank you for your support!
