2025-2026 Lower Division Major Project Areas & Goals:

Security Enhancements: In today’s world, ensuring the safety and well-being of our children is more important than ever. At OMA, we are committed to continuously evaluating and enhancing our security measures and protocols to reflect best practices in school safety. Proactive steps are essential to providing a secure and nurturing learning environment for every child. Your children’s safety remains our top priority, and we appreciate your partnership and trust as we continue to work to protect what matters most.

The Playground: Transitioning the traditional outside playground into an Outdoor Learning Lab represents a vital step forward in enriching the educational experience for our students. In today’s dynamic learning environment, children thrive when they have opportunities to explore, discover, and engage with the natural world. This space will serve as a hands-on extension of the classroom where science, literacy, art, and curiosity come to life in meaningful, multisensory ways. By transforming this area, we not only honor the play and joy that currently fills it, but also reimagine it as a place of inspiration, creativity, and growth that will be designed to spark wonder and support the whole child.

The Enrichment Lab: Creating this space is a meaningful step towards inspiring independent thinkers and lifelong learners. This innovative space will be stocked with resources not traditionally found in most classrooms such as robotics kits, digital microscopes, sensory exploration stations, and hands-on engineering tools. Students will have the opportunity to engage in unique, forward-thinking experiences like stop-motion animation, coding challenges, nature-inspired design projects, and potentially wearable tech creations. These kinds of learning adventures reflect the latest trends in education and offer our students opportunities rarely found in most elementary school settings ensuring they are not only prepared for the future, but excited to shape it.

2025-2026 Middle and Upper Division Major Project Areas & Goals:

Security Enhancements: In today’s world, ensuring the safety and well-being of our children is more important than ever. At OMA, we are committed to continuously evaluating and enhancing our security measures and protocols to reflect best practices in school safety. Proactive steps are essential to providing a secure and nurturing learning environment for every child. Your children’s safety remains our top priority, and we appreciate your partnership and trust as we continue to work to protect what matters most.

The Classroom Learning Labs: Preparing students for college and career success means embracing instructional models that go far beyond traditional teaching methods. Transitioning from conventional classrooms to dynamic Learning Labs is a strategic investment that directly supports our four core approaches: the Fusion Model for personalized learning, the Socratic Model for deep, discussion-based inquiry, the Think Global Model for real-world application, and Project-Based Learning for collaborative problem-solving. These flexible, innovative friendly spaces allow students to engage with content in hands-on, meaningful ways that mirror the demands of higher education and the workforce. By supporting the Annual Fund, parents are investing in an environment where future-ready skills are nurtured every day.

The Fitness Circuit Zone: Investing in the transformation of our outdoor concrete pad into a fully equipped fitness circuit zone is a powerful way to support student wellness, engagement, and student leadership. This dynamic space will serve as a flexible training ground for both middle and high school students, offering rotating stations that build strength, agility, endurance, and mindful focus through age-appropriate, real-world fitness, and meditation activities. With a newly refinished surface guiding students through a variety of activities, the zone will promote lifelong healthy habits while also supporting athletics, physical education, and mental wellness initiatives. With the addition of instructional signage, student-led sessions, and opportunities for self-paced or team workouts, this outdoor fitness circuit will become a cornerstone of our commitment to whole-student development. Our goal is to make this vision a reality, providing students with an inspiring space where movement meets motivation, every single day.
