ICYMI: What a difference a school community can make! Our OES students and families stepped up in a big way for the annual food drive, contributing an amazing 635 pounds of non-perishable food items for the Tioga County Rural Ministry.
This record-high total helped provide crucial support and meals for families right here in our county. Included is a message from Sister Mary O'Brien, Executive Director, thanking all OES students, families, and staff members.

Owego Free Academy art students went on a field trip to the Corning Museum of Glass. In a private guided tour,
students got to witness beautiful artworks while learning the history and context of many of them. Each student also got to work one-on-one with a professional glass blower in their studio to create a personalized glass ornament they got to keep! #OFARiverHawks #sOArTogether

We want to send the biggest thank you to the wonderful Apalachin Elementary Families who contributed to the Lions Club Food and Toy Drive.
Because of your generous support, AES collected a record amount of essential food items and joyful toys. This incredible effort will directly help neighbors in our community have a happier, brighter holiday season.

Check out the amazing work from our AES fourth graders! They've been learning all about Native Americans in their Social Studies Unit and wrapped up the lesson by creating these fantastic model Longhouses.
They were sure to include all the realistic parts they studied! We are impressed by their hard work!
