This week started two of our three-day, 7th grade kayaking trip in the back bay. Students spent the day at the Bayside Center, where they explored local ecosystems and learned about coastal habitats, biodiversity, food webs, and environmental conservation through a guided BayCats nature tour. This hands-on experience connected directly to our 7th grade science curriculum while providing opportunities for teamwork, physical activity, and a deeper appreciation for the natural resources that make our community special.

Today, our 7th grade students enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Philadelphia Zoo, America’s first zoo! They explored exhibits featuring animals from around the world, including lions, giraffes, gorillas, and red pandas. The trip provided a fun and memorable opportunity to learn about wildlife, spend time with classmates, and create lasting memories together.

OCIS staff rocking their green for Mental Health Awareness!

Today, the 7th graders from OCIS enjoyed a wonderful day on the Ocean City Boardwalk, combining fun, community, and valuable life lessons. Students visited JiLLy’s Arcade, where Jodi Levchuk spoke to them about the importance of hard work, developing an entrepreneurial mindset, and how to apply for a job. Students then spent time at the beach enjoying lunch together before continuing to enjoy the boardwalk experience. We are incredibly grateful to live in such a beautiful beach community and for the support of local businesses and community members who help create meaningful experiences for our students.

After welcoming incoming 4th graders to OCIS, our National Junior Honor Society 8th graders spent the day celebrating their academic achievements and a year of service to our school community. We are proud of their hard work, leadership, and dedication.
A special thank you to our amazing PTA and local businesses - Kohr Bros., Goofy Golf, Pisa Pizza, and Jilly’s arcade for generously sponsoring this well deserved field trip helping make the day so memorable for our students!

Yesterday, we welcomed our future Intermediate School students as the 3rd grade classes from the Primary School visited OCIS for a special tour of the building! Students had the opportunity to explore the school, learn more about what to expect next year, and ask questions as they prepare for their transition to Intermediate School. Our NJHS students did a wonderful job assisting the visit and helping our future 4th graders feel excited and welcomed. We are looking forward to seeing them again next year!
