OMS 8th graders visited multiple stations this morning at OHS to hear about what they should expect next year in high school. Thank you to the OHS staff and the 8th grade teachers for making this happen!



How do you engage students during the last week of school? You break out the LEGO Spike Kits and have them do some building & coding! Thank you Miss Vanessa for facilitating this experience and thank you to State Farm for the donation that made this possible.



Just a reminder that we will be holding strength and speed camp again this summer. A tremendous opportunity for our OHS students: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1OoRXZWisIHGeB8NGzIDbepDhPgeten6vSYNTsE5iHMo/edit?usp=drivesdk

Lots of students are exploring and developing their own identities, and they often do this online and on social media. Some kids use multiple accounts, each for a different audience, but with this, what’s real and what’s unrealistic can often get blurred. In this video, your kids can hear other teens talk about the ins and outs of presenting themselves to others online, and consider what it means to “be yourself” in digital spaces.
