Oak Ridge JH/HS Weekly Brief

Week 25 is finished! We had an impromptu JH/HS PEP assembly today (Friday) to celebrate, support, and send off our boys and girls basketball teams as they have both advanced to the District Finals! Girls will play tonight and boys will play Saturday! Please wish them luck and go support them if you can! FFA was very busy this past weekend and into this week with several trips and the FFA breakfast where they served 207 community members, parents, students, etc. Great job to Mr. Thomas and the FFA Program! Overall, we are rocking and rolling as a school and trying to wrap up 3rd quarter on March 8th. It feels impossible to already be starting 4th quarter!! But, they always say time flies when your having fun!

Thank you all and have a great weekend!

Oak Ridge is a community with a long standing tradition of taking care of one another. I am no different and sometimes I need help too. You will notice every week I will need help with certain things around the school and I am looking for leaders and students that want to help make a positive impact on Oak Ridge Schools!

1. Cell Phones. Last semester went pretty smooth, so let's carry that into second semester. Please ensure you put your phone in the phone holder each hour in every classroom.
2. Respect. I want to make sure we are being respectful to our classmates and our teachers. Please step up and be a leader and ensure we are being respectful to everyone and ALL TIMES!
3. Walk to Lunch. Please make sure you are walking to lunch!
4. Keep your hands to yourself. Students keep your hands and feet to yourself. Horseplay is not allowed.

Jess has planned morale events for each month and ensures each one is carried out in top notch fashion. Jess, spent tons of her own time planning a district wide scavenger hunt where each employee left with main course food items. Jess is always willing to help her colleagues in any way and has really stepped up in preparing for writing science curriculum next year. Jess also received a grant for planters and has plans to donate the vegetables produced to FACS classes so students can see the benefits. Jess is a top notch educator and we are proud to have her! Thanks for all your hard work!

Base Rock Minerals out of Fruitland donated the rock needed for our school landscape improvement projects! Thank you Base Rock Minerals for your support!

Matt has been working around the school and bus lot 8th hour all year. Matt has weedeated, cleaned buses, sprayed weeds, picked flower beds, you name it he’s willing to step up. Thank you for helping our school look great and always being willing to help out when needed!

Oak Ridge High School is now officially registered for the Apprenticeship Program through The United States Department of Labor. This program will allow our students to get a jump start into career fields and trades while still being in high school. Their work hours will also go towards a work certificate that can be provided to them by the U.S. Department of Labor after 2000 hours of on the job learning/working. (While being paid!!) We look forward to expanding this program in the years to come! A huge SHOUTOUT to Mrs. Schroeder for all her handwork and effort to get us here! Thank you Mrs. Schroeder!
