This honor is awarded to students in grades 9-12 who participate in three or more NSAA activities, a true testament to their dedication, time management, and commitment to representing OG Nation across multiple stages.
Whether it’s in the classroom, on the court, on the field, or on the stage… these students SHOW UP.
Your hard work, involvement, and school pride do not go unnoticed. We are proud of the way you represent OPSD!
Congratulations to all of our Multi-Activity Student Award recipients!

This week, our 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-grade students will participate in the NSCAS state assessments. We are excited for our students to show what they’ve learned and continue building our Culture of Confidence!
At Prairie View Elementary, we encourage all students to SHOW YOUR GROW by showing Grit, Risk-Taking, and Ownership—and this is a great opportunity for them to do just that!
How families can help at home:
✅ Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep
🍎 Provide a healthy breakfast each morning
⏰ Arrive to school on time
💬 Offer encouragement and remind them to do their best
📅 If possible, avoid scheduling appointments during testing times
Remind your child: “Be confident, take your time, and show what you know!”
We are proud of our students and appreciate your support in helping them feel prepared and confident.
With Appreciation,
Mr. Slama, Principal

Shoutout to Freshmen Hayden Fanning and Jagger Barnhill for putting in the work and getting better every single day!
Hayden has been consistent in the weight room, showing up, competing, and pushing herself to improve. Her progress in the deadlift and hang clean has been impressive; she’s attacking every lift with confidence and getting stronger like a boss.
Jagger Barnhill is earning it with his dedication and work ethic in the weight room. He shows up ready to work, trains with purpose, and brings a great attitude every day. He is focused on getting better, and it shows…steady progress and doing things the right way.
