Orangeville CUSD 203 -

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week!! Thank you to all the teachers and staff who help our students learn on a daily basis. We care and appreciate all you do all year long, but today we want to tell everyone about it!

Due to the rain and poor field conditions, the baseball and softball games at home against Forreston this evening (5/7/24) are cancelled. These will not be rescheduled.

We hope you are doing well on this rainy Tuesday. Here is your May/June newsletter: https://5il.co/2ksdo

Today is Prom! Grand March and Coronation will take place at 6:30 in the HS gym. All spectators are welcome, and we ask a $1 freewill donation to help defray costs, if you can. Congratulations to our prom court, and best of luck as they two are crowned 2024 Prom King and Queen!

Today Mr. Kolar took a group to the IPA Student Leadership Recognition brunch in Dixon, where two students from the eldest level of each of our school sections (so 5th, 8th, and 12th grades) were recognized as being outstanding students, and leaders in their classes. Congratulations to (L-R with Mr. Kolar in the middle): Keaton Laurent, Jude Brownson, Gavin Roth, Lauren Witte, Ella Scheider, and Rylie Scheuerell!

Happy Friday! Thank you to our yearbook sponsors!

This is a reminder that tomorrow, Friday, May 3, 2024, Orangeville School District has a scheduled SIP Day. This means our students will dismiss at 11:00 am.

Thank you to our area first responders, especially Leamon's Ambulance, Orangeville and Cedarville Fire Depts., and the Stephenson Co. Sheriff's Office, for organizing and participating in yesterday's Prom Accident simulation. Also thank you to our student actors: Paxton Bastian, Gavin Roth, Alex Schmidt, Whitney Sullivan, and Brock Tyrrell. This is an important exercise to help students realize the real-world consequences of making poor decisions.

We are hosting the prom mock accident simulation today (4/30) on the east side of the school at 1 pm, so there will be police, fire, ambulance, and Life Line helicopter coming to the school. Please don't be alarmed, as this is just a simulation, and everyone is okay. Thank you.

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! Thank you to the ladies, Ms. Tonya D, Ms. Rachel H, and Ms. Cindy W, in our offices at Orangeville School District who keep our school running smoothly!

We are a little tardy with the well-wishes, but today is School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! Thank you to Mr. Lauren E., Mr. Dave J., Mr. Jerry S., and Mr. Ryan S., who drive our precious cargo to and from school daily. We hope you have a wonderful evening!

The Orangeville varsity softball team participated in the Monroe softball tournament last weekend, which helped raise money for cancer awareness in support of two Monroe families fighting cancer, including the Golembiewski family. The Orangeville and Monroe teams joined together following the miracle minute fundraiser for a photo with Coach G.

Huge congrats to Coach Lon Scheuerell! On Saturday at the Monroe Softball tournament, Lon achieved his 500th varsity softball win! We will be doing a banner presentation just before our 4:30 game tomorrow at Orangeville. Please come out and join us for this wonderful milestone.
