J.E. Ober Elementary School values teaching character in their building. Each month they have a different character focus (based on the Character Counts Pillars - Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. They have added four - Courage, Perseverance, Dreamer, and Loyalty) and they meet in their We Care Wednesday groups. The We Care Wednesday groups consist of two classrooms (an older classrrom and a younger classroom) and multiple staff members. The group works together and does activities that focus on the pillar of character for the month. An example of an acitivity they have done is Valentines for Veterans!
Did you know that JE Ober has an Art Gallery? The Art Gallery was established during the 2022-2023 school year. They know that Artists have work to be displayed, and they wanted to honor their young artists' work by having a place for it to be displayed. A huge thank you to Mrs. Lindsay Brown and Ms. Holly Wright for putting Mrs. Surfus' vision into reality!
JE Ober is Public School Proud!
