Our students have had so much fun creating hands-on projects in our new STEM Lab! Students have learned about the Engineering Design Process, completed Engineering Challenges, jumped into 3D design and 3D printing, and have even begun building some robots and learn about coding computers. The September STEM newsletter - Whippet Wonders - can be found here: https://bit.ly/480tm8v

Mrs. Krause's 2nd graders earned their first positive behavior reward and begged to go to the STEM lab. Mrs. Hutchison set up a Lego "Tallest Tower Challenge" for them. Each group had to use teamwork and cooperation to come up with a plan to build the tallest tower.
Pep rally is at 2:50. Game is at 7:30!
The high school football game this Friday night, August 25th, has been moved to 7:30pm due to the heat. All admission for adults and students will be $5 this season. Good luck, Whippets!
Math is so fun...we all want to sit up front.
It's almost here. Football this Friday. The QB club could use some help painting the field tonight at 6PM. Any help is welcome.
Students who are planning on taking the ACT at Okeene November 7 will need to bring their $20.00 fee to Mrs. Mitch by September 1, 2023. OHS will be placing the order for ACT exams based on those that have paid their fee.
Backpack update. We have received confirmation that the backpacks are now at the vendors embroidery shop. Initially, we were going to wait for parents to pay when the backpack came in, but we have to change that policy. If you have ordered a backpack, come by the high school office or send a check with your student to pay. We have to build up our high school activity account to be able to place the order. Thank you for your understanding.
