At the November OPSD School Board meeting, the board honored 3 model students and one dedicated educator! These students & staff have shown what it means to do things “The OG Way.” They are risk-takers in and out of the classroom, show grit in all they do, and take ownership of their learning. We are so proud of our November students of the month, Scarlett Evans (elementary), Colton King (middle grades), Alana Garner (high school), and staff member of the month, Matt Skiles! Keep up the great work! We greatly appreciate our community sponsors for donating prizes for these individuals to honor their accomplishments! #GoBigO #OGIndians #TheOGWay #CultureOfConfidence
Keith County Foundation Fund - Youth Inspired Philanthropy projects are making a meaningful impact on student safety! Last year, one of our students noticed that our cross guard was assisting children on a foggy morning without a lighted stop sign. Recognizing an opportunity to enhance safety, the student took initiative, researching options and navigating the necessary steps to ensure our cross guard received a highly visible, light-up stop sign.
It was so exciting to see the stop sign in use, keeping students and staff safe during foggy weather! We are proud of this student’s leadership and commitment to our school community!
