Orchesis

Leading up to last weekend's awesome Orchesis shows, students had a series of dress up days to get their show-faces on and provide a unique way of marketing the shows.  Here are a few pics taken after school each day:

Student of the Quarter

This morning was our 1st quarter recognition of Students of the Quarter.  What a great way to start my Thursday!  Parents and students got to hear from the teachers and staff members that nominated students and the reasons why.  Students received a healthy round of applause, some breakfast, and a certificate.  Each division in our school nominated one student, including the counselors, SIDS, Student Activities and Athletics!   Congrats to the following students:

• Kevan Casson- Math
• Thomas Herner- Visual Arts
• George Brennan- Business Ed
• Majesty Gunn- English
• Taylor Varnado- Science
• Oluwatosin Adeyemi- World Languages
• Samantha Linde- PE
• Mera Iniques-Rojo- History
• Will Dunne- Athletics
• Michaela Fritsch- Consumer Sciences
• Kenzo Murray- Counseling
• Emma Mascaro-Romine- Student Support Services
• Amaris Flores- Student Activities

Will you be nominated for 2nd Quarter??????

Best Meeting of the Day

On Tuesday, I met with Emma Thompson and Erin McGuire regarding a potential OPRF Google App that they are developing in their Computer Apps class.  How cool would it be for us to have an app just for students that would allow you to have all of your favorite info from OPRF in one place?  Emma and Erin- thanks for making my day!  Can't wait to see the final product!

New Teacher Group Discussion

Mr. Bill Young, Special Education Teacher, facilitates a Q&A discussion with our new teachers on Tuesday after school regarding student discipline at OPRF.  Our Student Intervention Directors responded to questions that our new staff members had.  The good news was that the conversation focused on the importance of relationship building and trust, NOT writing referrals:)

I Love Geometry!!!

Had a chance to to hang out with Ms. Hardin's 3rd period Geometry Class as they were taking "shortcut quizzes".  I've never heard Geometry sound so congruent:)  Look at all of those students wearing their IDs and check out Erica's face paint game!  Another great day to be a Huskie!
