🌩️ BEYOND THE THUNDER: STUDENT HIGHLIGHT 🌩️
Our students are doing amazing things both in and beyond the classroom, and we want to celebrate them! This post continues our Beyond the Thunder series, where we spotlight students who are pursuing passions, sharing their talents, and making a difference in our community outside of school.
This summer, five Osseo-Fairchild High School students took their Thunder Pride on the road and spent a week making a difference in Kentucky!
🔨 Noah Green, Izaiah Green, George Clark, Dalton Clark, and Orion Prudlick traveled with the Appalachia Service Project (ASP), volunteering their time and talents to help make homes warmer, safer, and drier for families in need.
Their willingness to serve others is a wonderful example of compassion, leadership, and the power of giving back. 🧡🖤
Thank you, Noah, Izaiah, George, Dalton, and Orion, for representing the Osseo-Fairchild community with pride and making a difference beyond our school!
Do you know a student going "beyond the thunder"? Let us know!
We are #ThunderProud! 🌩️

They explored their senses through lots of fun, hands-on activities like mystery bags, sensory stations, listening walks, smelly stickers and markers, taste tests, and so much more!
The kids had a blast using their senses to explore, make observations, and discover the world around them! 💕

Our 2nd Annual Osseo-Fairchild Thunder Run is underway, and we’re working toward a goal of $15,000+ to support the students at Osseo-Fairchild Elementary!
We also want to take a moment to give a BIG thank you to the local businesses who have already supported the Thunder Run! Their generous sponsorships have helped cover the cost of Thunder Pride T-shirts for all of our students to wear during the event and throughout the school year. We are incredibly grateful for their investment in our students and our school! 🧡🖤 We’ll be sharing and recognizing all of our amazing business sponsors soon, so stay tuned!
Now, we’re reaching out to our entire community. You don’t have to have a student at OFE to make a difference!
Funds raised will go directly toward:
🏫 School supplies
🏀 Playground & PE equipment
🚌 Field trips
⭐ After-school programming
💡 Additional opportunities and resources for our students
Last year, community support helped us add a new soccer net, upgraded the 4 side hoops in the elementary gym, disc golf equipment, and new volleyball nets. We’re hoping to build on that this year!
Want to help? Any donation amount makes a difference! Even $5, $10, or $20 adds up when our community/supporters come together.
👉 Donate here:
https://give.mybooster.com/osseo-fairchild-elementary-1
-OR- Cash or check can be dropped off at the school office.
And if you’re not able to donate, sharing this post with your friends and family is a huge help! Our goal is to hit all 50 states and as many countries as possible. Last year we got donations from 35 states and 8 different countries. Can we beat that?
Our Thunder Run is September 23, and we’re excited to see how far we can take this!
Thank you to our local businesses, families, friends, alumni, and community members for supporting the students of Osseo-Fairchild Elementary! 🧡🖤⚡

Yesterday in Healthy Outlets & Current Health Topics, students began class with a little creativity and a lot of color. Their challenge? Paint “Happy” — whatever that means to you.
But there was more to the activity than just creating something beautiful! Students learned that watercolor painting and creative color work can help soothe the amygdala, shifting the brain away from the high-stress fight-or-flight response and toward a calmer state.
A great reminder that sometimes, a little creativity can go a long way in helping us feel calm, focused and happy! 🎨✨

Interested in being part of the team? Students who would like to participate should complete the interest form linked (scan the QR Code) in this post by Friday, September 18. Early next week, we will contact you to let you know if your student is on the team.
