You have until Friday at the end of the day!
Thanks to everyone, another successful Book Fair has ended. The Easter Bunny made a special appearance and handed out goodie bags to the younger classes and attendance prizes awarded. The profits made from the fair go towards new books, the Santa visit and the AR assembly at the end of the year. Thank you to my 6th grade helpers for getting the library set up for the Fair and my High School students for coming to help with the classes.

💍💒💖 We’re officially married… Q & U said “I do!” 💖💒💍
On Friday, Kindergarten threw the wedding of the year—a beautiful ceremony celebrating the forever partnership of Q & U! 👰🤵
Our little guests dressed their best, walked down the aisle, exchanged Ring Pop vows, and sealed the deal with a toast (Capri Suns, of course!) and delicious Zebra Cakes. 🎂🥂 Then, we hit the dance floor and partied it up at the reception of the century! 🕺💃
Even our past students came back to relive this iconic day—because once you celebrate Q & U, you never forget! ❤️
Now, our Kindergarteners will always remember that Q is never without U—they’re stuck together forever! ✨
Congratulations to Junior Lauren Bailey and Senior Ellie Borrowman. Lauren Bailey was awarded First Team-All Conference honors and Ellie Borrowman was awarded Honorable Mention-All Conference honors.
In honor of the 113th birthday of Girl Scouts, our local troops participated in leading the pledge and morning announcements. Great work girls!

The Those Who Excel program, hosted by ISBE, recognizes outstanding educators and administrators across Illinois for their exceptional contributions to the field of education. The Mt. Olive community extends heartfelt congratulations to Principal Karrie Scheller on this remarkable achievement.
