Congratulations to our students for reaching our December schoolwide attendance goal of 95%. We are currently at 95.6%! Each grade has chosen a “glow in the dark” celebration to be held either Monday or Tuesday next week. Thank you for helping our students finish the month strong! Let’s keep it up in the new year!
Thanks to all who attended our Winter Concert on Monday evening at OMHS. Thanks to Ms. Knysak, Ms. Sears, Ms. Kim, and Mr. Butte for organizing and leading the evening. Our students did a fabulous job. Thank you to all the parents for supporting our music programs.
