February Happenings

Is it really February? You certainly would never know by our weather. Nothing cold going on here!!!Our schedules are warming up as well. There is lots to do at OCS in February. Valentine's Day, President's Day- a good time to reflect on caring for others and the importance of citizenship, one of our CORRECT values.

We have have just learned that OCS has achieved "Honorable Mention" status with our recent "School of Character" application. This is an incredible achievement recognizing that we are a school that highly values the qualities of good character and service to others, as well as academics. Our "CORRECT" program and positive behavior supports assist greatly in creating the atmosphere of support that allows our students to be "the best that we can be" in preparing for today's complex world.
We are definitely preparing "Students of Character" here at OCS.

Yearbook Happenings- Remember to order your yearbook online at jostens.com for $23.00 throughout the month of February. Prices increase in March.

7th Grade/8th Grade News- Planning is underway for the Pasta Dinner to be held on March 28, 2012. We are collecting penne pasta, Afredo sauce, and 12-packs of beverages. Next meeting will be held on either March 21 or 28; please check announcements.
