Attention oss! Intramurals are back this Wednesday in the gym! This week, we're slam dunking into basketball. It’s time to show off your moves, your teamwork, and maybe your questionable layups. Remember to have your safety forms signed and your student id card. We'll see you in the gym tomorrow at lunch!



Thank you OSS!  Green Haven Women’s shelter very much appreciated your hygiene drive donations.


Last week, our music students traveled on a 4-day Arts tour of Niagara Falls and Toronto, which included performances at Musicfest Nationals on Wednesday. Our ensembles both presented excellent performances for the panels of adjudicators and participated in engaging and informative clinics. The OSS Music Department is proud to announce that the Senior Concert Band earned a Silver standing and Hawks Jazz earned a Gold standing. These results at the national level are indeed something to be very proud of. Congratulations to our hard-working and dedicated musicians! If you would like to hear these groups and many others perform live, please join us this Thursday evening at 7pm for the Music Department annual Spring Concert.
