OMMS Bus Driver Appreciation - part 2! 💥❤️💙 Celebrating and honoring the dedicated crew of bus drivers who ensure students arrive to school each morning and home each afternoon safe & sound! They work tirelessly behind the scenes and we are incredibly grateful for them! Thank you! 🚌❤️💙🚌❤️💙🚌
Happy Administrative Professionals Day to four rock star professionals: Mrs. Whittle, Mrs. Deems, Mrs. DiCaprio, and Mrs. Garcia! 💥❤️💙🙌🏻
These incredibly devoted and hard-working ladies keep our school running like a wheel-oiled machine and ensure that all the details of daily life at OMMS are taken care of each and every day! ❤️💪💙
We would be lost without them and we are SO appreciative of their dedication and commitment to the students and teachers of Oak Mountain Middle School!🏫
Today they were treated to a special lunch as a small token of our abundant appreciation! ❤️
Happy Bus Driver Appreciation Day to the absolutely amazing crew of Oak Mountain Middle School bus drivers! These fine ladies and gentlemen are the unsung heroes of our school! Rain or shine they safely transport the most precious cargo to and from school! We value and appreciate them today and always! After school, we served a few sweet and salty treats and a cold drink to them as they embarked on their afternoon routes. The School Improvement Club created cards for each driver at last week's meeting and those were handed out them, as well. 🚌❤️💙🚌🙌🏻🤜🏼❤️💙 Thank you! We appreciate your hard work and dedication -- it does not go unnoticed by the families, students, and staff of OMMS! ❤️ (these are just a few of our incredible bus drivers- unfortunately some aren't pictured because they drive the second wave route or were unavailable for a photo!)

🚀 Our 6th graders had an OUT OF THIS WORLD experience this week! 🌌 As part of their studies in both Social Studies, where they are learning about the Cold War Space Race, and Science class, where they are learning about space and the universe, they had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to speak with legendary Apollo 13 Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise via Zoom! 🌕
Mr. Haise—a brave test pilot, the first person to command the Space Shuttle, and one of the three astronauts aboard in the legendary “successful failure” of Apollo 13—shared stories from his incredible career. 🌠
Several students came to the mic with such thoughtful, curious, and insightful questions that the head of STEAM4Space (the amazing nonprofit that helped make today possible) even learned new things about Mr. Haise—after years of working with him! 🤯👏 STEAM4Space also provided authentic mission patches to the 13 students whose questions were selected! 🎖️🚀
What a day to remember! 🌟 We even had the incredible honor of meeting Mr. Haise (aka “Freddo”) on the 55th anniversary of the mission. He shared that exactly 55 years earlier, at that very moment, he had been freezing and quite ill—enduring extreme temperatures while surviving in a powered-down Lunar Module, initially designed for just two people and being used as a lifeboat. We are so honored and grateful for this experience! 🙏
Mrs. Nichols will drop some video highlights in the comments below, and if you’d like a copy of the recording, please have your student ask their social studies teacher for the link! 🚀
