We are opening up our Opequon School Spirit Wear store once again! Orders will arrive in time for Christmas, and this season we are offering an abundance of new items along with our staple pieces! The link will go LIVE Monday afternoon, but take a sneak peek at this flyer to get the ideas flowing! There are many more items being offered on the website! Orders are due Dec. 2 in order to receive by Christmas. Happy shopping!

By the generosity of Widow's Peak stylists and other local stylists, Opequon was able to provide free haircuts to several families as we approach the holiday season. Thank you to those who attended, and those who left looking sharp with fresh cuts! We appreciate the time and dedication of our community in providing this treat to our Opequon families. We look forward to hosting the event again!

Our next PTO meeting is December 11th @ 4:30 in the library.

This is the 19th year for this successful contest. The timeline has been adjusted to better align with the academic year! The hope is that teachers will find value in using this contest in the classroom. Parents are able to complete the essay with their child at home as well.
