Please remember to respect each other's personal space, and responsibly keep hands, feet, and other to yourselves. This means games such as necking and 5 star are prohibited.

These infractions will be taken seriously, and responded to sternly. Please continue being a Tiger that ROARS!

19. Be Kind Monday
How do we spread kindness? Look for the little things! If you keep your head up and your eyes peeled for moments to reach out to others or to lend a helping hand, you will find that the opportunities are endless. Making an impact on someone else’s life does not require grand gestures, but rather something small like letting someone go ahead of you in the lunch line or holding the door for someone. YOUR act of kindness might be the only kind human interaction that the person has all day! It also helps you feel good, too, so sprinkle kindness throughout your day!

20. Tryouts for the OHS sideline cheer team will begin the week of may 8
Please stop by the main office for a informational packet or check out the OHS athletic website for more information
