#FallbackFriday to candids from the 2005 yearbook
if you're in our library and run into students, ask them for book recommendations. Books start conversations, it turns out.
Along with their book suggestion, Teagon and Aubree shared some great menu ideas today: T-bone steak + curly fries, and hot dogs + mac and cheese are now on a menu wishlist, and they can be ready in less than 30 minutes (check out the cookbook title). Thank you both!
[Pro tip: YES, our Public Library has lots of wonderful cookbooks you can check out. Enjoy!]
Congrats to OV golfers Payne Wood and Owen Davis who play with the DeRuyter/OV Varsity Golf Team. Their team won against Cincinnatus, and we're looking forward to another great season for these student athletes!
UPDATE: The Varsity Baseball game on 5/4 against Lafargeville will now be held at DeRuyter Central School at 4pm due to the pesticide spraying at OV. #GoVikings #VikingPride
REMINDER: ALL school grounds including the playground and the Public Library will be closed this Saturday and Sunday, May 4th/5th, due to pesticide application. Thank you for understanding.
#ThrowbackThursday to the South Otselic Central School band who performed at the New York World's Fair in July 1965
And they're off!
FFA members and officers from OV are on their way to the New York FFA Convention in Buffalo. In addition to leadership workshops and general sessions at convention, they look forward to tree planting for a day of service and exploring the area. We'll follow along as they share photos! Many thanks to teachers/chaperones Mrs. Lehmann and Mrs. Graham, as always.
Happy School Principals' Day, Mrs. Barber-Breese, and thank you for all you do. You support all our students and teachers in Pre-K through 12th grade, and you do it with compassion. We appreciate you!
Viking Pride, today and always!
