Students in Ms. Benardos’ art class at O'Neill Elementary School brought an inspiring message of confidence and self-love to life through a colorful new mural.
Mrs. Taylor Medina’s sixth-grade students at O’Neill Elementary School participated in an interactive and creative project by designing their own culturally authentic food trucks in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.
Students worked in groups and were asked to research traditional dishes, calculate menu pricing, design truck branding, and create tasty menus representing various Spanish-speaking countries.
O’Neill Elementary School welcomed families from the community for its annual “Welcome Back to School” picnic, hosted by the O’Neill PTA.
