2020 Faculty/Sixth Grade Kickball Game - Quarantine Style
There is a tradition at OES. At the end of the school year, the 6th graders play a kickball game against the OES faculty and staff. It is talked about for months. It is a big deal.
We couldn't come together as a school for a game this year, but I didn't want this long-standing tradition to die. I know this virtual kickball game isn't the same as actually playing in the real game, but I hope you enjoy it.
Class of 2026, this is for you. -- Miss Dixson
