Owen County Elementary School

What do you do when it rains on egg hunt day?! You find a fun way to hide over 13,000 eggs in two buildings, host a coloring contest while rotating classes through the hunt, and their teachers get a little breather!

The smiles and laughter were worth all of our tired minds and bodies this Friday! Thank you so much to all of you who donated eggs for this year’s EGGstravaganza!!! We couldn’t do it without you all! And a huge thanks to all the adults that helped us hide and coordinate today in a pinch! It worked out wonderfully!

We are so lucky to have Mr. G as our school counselor, but in reality, he is SO MUCH MORE. During this School Counselor’s Appreciation week we want to recognize Mr. Gambrell for his constant selflessness and all of the amazing vibes and help that he brings to our school! We don’t know what we would do without him! ❤️
