News & Announcements

I was having a bad day on November 27th. It was the Sunday at the end of Thanksgiving break, I had been isolated with Covid for the entire break, I was stressed. Life was monotonous, and I didn’t know how to guarantee that Monday would be a good day.

We asked kids from each grade what they wanted as holiday gifts, and here’s what they said!

On Wednesday, November 9, I made my way across from the Ouray School gym building to the main building. I was crossing the east to west wind channel that 8th street had become. My hair whipped around me, my hood ballooned up like a parachute, and I raced as fast as I could across the pavement to get to safety. Right as I was about to enter the building, I saw a ptarmigan!

On November 12, the Ouray Middle School Lego Robotics team, Kids in Black, competed in the Western Slope Regional Championships. They did not make it to the state competition, but they had fun and learned a ton.

The Ouray High School girls volleyball season came to an end on Tuesday, October 25 after what many of the girls felt was a successful season.

High school students crowded the hallway as the elementary students paraded through with their costumes. The little ones rushed through, a little embarrassed to be showing off, perhaps, but mostly they were brimming with excitement to go out on the town trick-or-treating.

Schools and communities! Those are the buzz words in second grade this quarter. Ms Cervone and her students have been comparing and contrasting different schools and communities.

I’m gonna say it - please don’t hate me: Otter Pops don’t taste like much. Okay, okay, okay. Before you get all up in my face like that, I love Otter Pops more than anything in the whole entire world. Okay? Can you let me talk now? Thank you.

Community building activities in schools are usually the cause of much groaning from students, but at Ouray School they are tolerated - and, dare I say it? even enjoyed. Climb the Peak day is an (at minimum) annual event where the entire high school and its staff go on a hike together.
