Otselic Valley Central School District

Manners matter. Knowing proper etiquette means students treat others with mutual respect, honor shared spaces, and practice politeness. It is a very useful skill for community building and even career advancement, and our Vikings have it. The most recent OV Star Awards presented by Miss Blake and her helpers reflect this segment of year-long character education and recognition. We appreciate the staff members who noticed our Vikings' good attitudes and so thoughtfully described them, Miss Blake who prepared the stars and returned to school to give them out at Morning Program and in older students' classrooms, and the helpers who assisted with the presentations. This month's awards also included another for comradery, the character education theme which was recognized previously. **************** This student is always polite and courteous, he always says please and thank you!
