The spring musical isn't the only rehearsal you might find at OV. Welcome to Reader's Theater!
Here Mrs. Youngs and her students are practicing a read-aloud script for an in-class "performance" (no memorization and no sets needed!). There's plenty of time to practice, and Vikings work together on a shared experience that gives them a reason to read. Reading fluency, reading confidence, and another experience of reading-for-fun helps grow strong readers. (Applause, applause!)
Thank you, Mrs. Youngs.
"Who should I call?" The District Communications Guidelines chart is your road map for getting to the right person as efficiently as possible. Please start with "1st contact" and move to "2nd contact," etc. if you need more help. You can find this chart on the printed calendar sent annually to district residents, and it's also on our website on the District, Our School, and Parents pages.
BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL DEFEATS AFTON ON SENIOR NIGHT >
"The Boys Varsity team put a notch in the win column last night with a 74 to 54 victory over Afton. For the first time in a long time we had four players with double-digit points. Leading the way was Braeden Davis with 28, followed by Caleb Loomis with 19, Lukas Schieferstein with 14, and Cole Warren with 10. Leading the way on the boards was Braeden Davis with 8 and Cole Warren with 6. Nice Job, fellas it was fun to watch! Let's keep this rolling." -- Coach Preston
