It's almost Scholastic Book Fair time! Look for flyers and handouts that will be sent home with your students for more information. There will be an online store as well as an in-person sale, that will be held before and after the Grade School Winter Concert.

Earlier this week the Plant Science and Intro to Ag classes broke into groups and stepped into the 'teacher role' by visiting an elementary class to present a 30-minute lesson. The students really enjoyed this activity and learned a lot of valuable skills working as a team.

Cooler days and waning daylight diminishes egg production, as the Intro to Ag students discovered. Part of their daily duties include taking care of the school chickens, and last Friday they decided to make breakfast with the few eggs they collected over the past few weeks. Yum!

This Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 18-19, would be great days to visit the Monroe Culver's store and have a Concrete Mixer! Why? Because OHS Servant Leadership is having a Concrete for a Cause fundraiser and will receive $1 from every concrete mixer purchased on those days. Proceeds will go toward purchasing a memorial for Toby "Coach G" Golembiewski, who was a beloved part of the Orangeville staff for 28 years. Please help out by spreading the word, and purchasing a Concrete Mixer on those days.
This Thursday, Nov. 21st, boys' basketball and Servant Leadership are working together on a fundraiser for a local family affected by cancer. The Purple & White Scrimmage fun day will be Thursday from 5:30-7:30 pm, and have a $5 entry fee. There will also be a 3-pt shootout and a bake sale. Please join us to help out a local family.!
