Our treasured fire truck will be missed for a bit while it is being rehabbed. It was hard to let it leave the playground, but fresh paint, rust repair, new chrome, and repaired interior will ensure this beloved Overfield artifact will be around for our students to play in for many years to come. 🚒

What a wonderful week with visiting artist, Jim McCutcheon! The week with The Guitar Man was capped off with a fun concert on a beautiful evening yesterday, and concluded today with the generous gift of a balalaika from Jim to our school! Many thanks to the Ohio Arts Council for their grant support, which makes programs like this possible.
