First week at OHS

The 8th graders at OHS started a new school year on Thursday, August 16, 2012. The first day we had a class meeting where we elected Deven Friz as president, Zeb O'Bryan as vice president, Jake Young as secretary/treasurer, and Bryce Heiser and Allison Ludwig as Student Council representatives. Then Mr. Brosz, the principal of OHS, talked to us. He explained some of the changes at school this year, including the disturbing news that we will no longer have peanut butter or bread in the lunchroom.

One of our many great classes that we will take this year is English. This first week we have created personal blogs, posted about ourselves, and started "I am from" poems. One of the coolest things we've done so far in English is to start a class blog. We are writing this first post as a class, but from here on out each of us will take a turn as the Daily Reporter on behalf of our class.

 Our other 8th grade classes are starting off strongly, as well. Some of the highlights include the Marshmallow Challenge in Science, learning about the current election in Social Studies, and starting fall sports in P.E. Speaking of fall sports, the Booster Club Kick-off was held last night, August 22. The high school football and volleyball teams had an inter-squad scrimmage and everyone enjoyed hamburgers, watermelon, and purchased T-shirts for the fall sports.
