Our Graduation festivities continued as we said goodbye to our 6th Graders on Thursday evening with our graduation ceremony. The party continued on Friday as we had our Faculty versus 6th Grade Volleyball game and gave our graduates a proper Ocean Gate send off with our 6th Grade Clap Out! Best of luck at CRMS and thank you for all you have done for the Ocean Gate School community during your time here!
Ms. Parliman had her kinders getting ready for 1st grade as we celebrated out Kindergarten Graduation on Thursday with some singing and had some knowledge passed on to us on all of the amazing things that they learned this year. It was a great day and we will see you all in 1st Grade this September!
We had a wonderful time celebrating our Students of the Month at our June Board Meeting as well as acknowledging our Teacher and ESP of the Year in Ms. Corrigan and Ms. Mak. We also gave a shout out to our outgoing PTO President Mrs. Andrea DePalma and thanked our current officers for their commitment to our students. Finally, we said good bye to some of our long time familiar faces here at Ocean Gate as we recognized the careers of Ms. Pat, Mr. Rosenthal, Ms. Joanne, and Ms. Murphy

Our students and staff had a blast today at the Dialed Action BMX Show urging our students to get out and play and talking to them about responsible choices, bicycle safety, and an anti-bullying message along with some amazing bike tricks. Thanks so much to the Ocean Gate Municipal Alliance for helping put this together and bring this wonderful program in for our students!
Please note, the BMX Show today which was originally scheduled for 9:30 am outdoors has been moved inside our gymnasium due to the weather. Unfortunately, due to the size of the bike space needed for the show, we will not be able to accommodate outside visitors. Sorry for the change!
Our school got a special visit from Point Pleasant and the Jenkinson's Aquarium as Zuco the Penguin came to Ocean Gate this rainy Monday morning. Our students were able to learn all about penguins and their habitat and life cycle as Zuco showed us up close and personal what it is like to be a penguin!
