Today's highlight is on Mr. Guy (or Coach Guy, or Willi to the adults), our athletic director & building director. He has been cleaning much of the time with his crew at school, but with his time at home he's been cleaning up their property. They sent me cool videos of the trees falling when he cut them, but unfortunately I can't post video, so here are some pics of he and his boys after the trees are down.

Today we showcase Mr. Golembiewski, or as most of us call him, Coach G. He has been busy at school, at home, and doing things outdoors. In these pics, the family is enjoying roasting some hot dogs on the fire, and he is showing off his "quarantine beard".

Both Jr-Sr High and Elementary 2019-20 yearbooks are available for purchase on www.jostens.com Just search for Orangeville & pick either High School or Elementary School. Orders are due by Wednesday, May 20th. If you have questions, please email yearbook adviser Mrs. Scheuerell.

Today begins Teacher Appreciation Week! The other day I saw a great 'definition' of a teacher as "A multi-tasking educational rockstar who lives to inspire and loves to encourage." We definitely have some rockstars here, please say a thank you to them when you get the chance.

Good morning! Today's highlight is Mrs. Heldt, our life skills teacher. While home, she has been going on runs with her dogs (she says it's really hard to take a selfie with dogs, lol!), and has also been getting the pond at her house ready for summer.
