Omega Elementary’s 3rd Annual-2nd Grade Market Day was a complete success!
2nd grade students set up their own Market Shop to offer goods and/or services as PRODUCERS. Students also were CONSUMERS and could buy, barter, or trade at other markets to gain any good or service they wanted.
Market Day provides our 2nd graders with an opportunity to apply the Georgia Standards of Excellence: Social Studies-Economic standards they worked so hard to master.
Parents came to help “work” at their student’s market as they shopped around. Teachers also got involved using special coupons to barter with, in order to obtain any of the goods/services the wanted.

After consulting with the Emergency Management Agency and other local authorities, Tift County Schools will be closed tomorrow, Monday, March 16, 2026, due to the potential for severe weather. A strong storm system is projected to arrive in our area around 5:00AM and is expected to be cleared out of the area around noon.
The current forecast calls for widespread damaging winds with gusts of 60–70 mph, along with the possibility of tornadoes and large hail. Temperatures will drop significantly after the front moves through, so families should plan for freezing temperatures on Tuesday morning and ensure students are dressed appropriately.
The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. Therefore, all schools will be closed and all athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Monday, March 16, 2026.
We encourage everyone to stay weather aware and take necessary precautions. Any additional updates will be shared through the district’s communication channels.
