This year's annual Kids Heart Challenge at Ocean City Elementary School raised $30,775. Pictured with OCES students, physical education teachers, Mr. Mark Engle and Mrs. Tracey Drocella with Ms. Kim Moore, the school engagement director for the American Heart Association. This will make the grand total donated by OCES students and their families throughout the years to over $535,000. As part of the 2024 Kids Heart Challenge event, students learned about young heroes born with heart defects and heard stories of their successful journeys through treatment.

Meet Lisa Kristick, Ocean City Elementary School's Teacher of the Year, who we'll be celebrating at the annual Teacher of the Year Celebration on April 4.
Lisa Kristick earned a Bachelor of Science degree from George Mason University and a Master of Special Education and Master of Elementary Education from Wilmington University. In her sixth year at Ocean City Elementary School, she teaches Pre-K4 students. She believes inclusion of all learners regardless of ability teaches collaboration, empathy and increases academic success. Kristick nurtures an inclusive learning environment where disability need not be an obstacle to success. She shares her passion for early childhood by serving as a mentor at OCES, a member of the Maryland Blueprint Committee, and member of the Worcester County play-based cohort.


Happy Spring Break! 🐰🌸🐥
