The OV-Cincinnatus Boys Varsity Baseball game v. Mater Dei, originally scheduled to be a home game on Monday, May 8 at 4:30 pm, will be held today at Cincinnatus. Because this year's baseball team is shared with Cincy, it's an opportunity for Cincy athletes to play locally.
May 8-12, 2023 is Teacher Appreciation Week, and we couldn't be more proud of Otselic Valley's educators. Their work is inspired, informed, compassionate, encouraging, and full of guidance that will benefit students long after they graduate. THANK YOU for all you do!
