At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Waitley's 3rd-grade class read “How to Fill Your Bucket”. Mrs. Waitley posed a challenge to her students to be a bucket filler for 30 days. To complete the challenge, students had to write down how they filled a bucket each day. At the completion of the 30 days, they had to turn in their bucket-filling log. Raelynn OWNED this challenge and made our school and community a better place by being a bucket filler!

At the September 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 September students of the month, Debahni Gutierrez Vargas (elementary), Jace Harger (middle grades), Connor Bell (high school), and staff member of the month, Nichole Van Winkle! 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

OHS Football has had a busy couple of days! The team carried on their tradition of helping set up at the Ogallala Indian Summer Rendezvous. Their tasks included moving tables, setting the stage, decorating the space, and handling lots of heavy lifting.
Tuesday, the team took their practice indoors to dodge the rainy weather. Whether on the field or in the community, these guys are putting in the work and showing their versatility and commitment to OG Nation!
