Dear OHS Eagles,
On Monday, February 3rd we are celebrating the 100th day of school!!! We are 100 days smarter and older. Our 5th graders are celebrating their 1,000th day of school too! Find your “old” soul and dress the part to celebrate.
We have two county winners for the Fire Prevention Poster Contest and they are both OHS students. Congratulations to Lukas Melin and Isabella Baldwin. Mr. Hidalgo and the students will be invited to attend the annual celebration in the spring.
