🌟Seventh-grade students had an unforgettable experience in the media center this week as they began a creative and engaging preview of The Outsiders. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Catherine Willoughby, K-8 Media Specialist, students truly brought the story to life.
During class time, students:
📔Listened to an interview with the author.
📔Dressed up in period-themed clothing and took fun selfies.
📔Illustrated character drawings based on vivid descriptions from the book.
📔Watched a 1960s movie at a Drive-In featuring Paul Newman to capture the era's essence.
This hands-on approach not only introduces the book but also sparks curiosity and makes literature exciting.👏

OHS student, athlete, and mentor Nolan Mauser took time this week to connect with our middle school students, showing the power of positive role models. As part of their "Personal Best" unit in 6th grade ELA, students have been reflecting on the qualities that make someone a great leader. OMS students, including Chase Clark, look up to our OHS Wildcats as role models, and today was a great opportunity to see that leadership in action.
Not only did Nolan take time to meet with Chase, he also spoke with our 8th grade WEB leaders about the importance of leadership and how even the smallest interactions can make a difference. We are so proud of him for stepping up as a mentor and setting an example for our younger Wildcats! 👏 #OCSWildcats #WorldclassWildcats
