Viking Sighting!
On Sunday, September 8, Otselic Valley Central was proudly represented as our alumni faced off on the field!
The Herkimer Generals, featuring Cassidy Will (‘23) and Paige Will (‘24), took on the TC3 Panthers with Emily Smith (‘23) leading the charge. And showing her Viking pride on the sidelines was none other than Peyton Graham (‘23), there to support her former teammates!
Way to go, Vikings! We’re so proud to see you all thriving and representing OV! 🛡️💪 #VikingStrong #OVPride #AlumniSpotlight #OnceAVikingAlwaysAViking

Last week, Ms. Stoklosa's first graders worked hard on building their reading stamina! The challenge was to stay focused and read for a full three minutes without getting distracted—and guess what? 88% of us nailed it!
Next week, we’re aiming even higher, trying to read for longer.
Our ultimate goal? Ten minutes (and beyond!) of focused reading for 100% of our class. Keep cheering us on! 💪📖
