It was a hoot at the old folks home, I mean OCHS, today. We've had some dedicated students this GEAR UP Week. Happy SENIOR Citizens Day!
And congrats to Carly Smith for solving this morning's riddle! Tomorrow is our last hunt, so get there early to read the clue.
It's been a busy week here at OCHS! Monday, students dressed in construction gear and seniors signed their Senior Sign-Off banner. Yesterday, teachers had fun with Little Kid Day and came dressed through the decades. Congrats to Tuesday and Wednesdays Riddle winner: Connor Smith!
Happy GEAR UP Week! Today, OCHS students experienced "dinner and a show" with the addition of Family Feud: College Edition during their lunch periods. Steve Harvey (Miss Chelsea) surveyed students last week and used their responses to create the ultimate OCHS-inspired game.
Breakfast Club meeting Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 6:00 - 7:00 a.m. Come join Andrew, Dylan, and Erick and work on your basketball skills. These three got better this morning.
