A huge THANK YOU to the Aberdeen Central Boys Soccer Team for spending part of their Saturday at May Overby as part of their Golden Hour service project. They repainted our recess lines and basketball courts, installed brand-new soccer nets, and helped get our playground ready for an amazing school year.
We’re so grateful for your hard work and your commitment to serving our school district. Our Golden Eagles are going to love it!
And a special shout-out to Mr. Howard and Mr. Osborne for helping make it all happen and making sure every last detail was taken care of. We appreciate all of you!
At May Overby Elementary, we are committed to creating a place where every child is welcomed, valued, challenged, and supported. Whether this is your first year with us or you’ve been part of our school family for years, we can’t wait to welcome you through our doors.
Here’s to a school year filled with growth, kindness, friendships, and learning. We are so excited to see our Golden Eagles soon!

Hello May Overby families!
My name is Bailey Mohr and it is truly an honor (and a whole lot of joy!) to join this amazing school community as your new principal.
Attached is my welcome letter where I share a little more about myself and my journey in education, as well as what I’m most looking forward to this year.
I can’t wait to meet our students, families, and staff, and I’m already counting down the days until we kick off a wonderful year together!
It's August 1st, which means back to school is right around the corner. We're excited to welcome our May Overby Golden Eagles back for another great school year!
