Today was a busy day in Mrs. Peterson's science room. The physical science class explored polymers and states of matter by making slime, and the physics students ended their study of forces by breaking their bridges made from pasta. Amiliani Bradley's bridge was the class winner, successfully holding 3.2 kg!
Over this past weekend we hosted the 42nd Annual Bob Mitton Invitational. What a great weekend of wrestling! First we want to thank all of those who volunteered their time to make this weekend as successful as it was!

Due to cold temperatures tonight's Freshman Boys Basketball at Mercer County has been postponed and we are working on a make up date. Stay warm everyone!
Ms. Grundstrom's English 4 class opened a study of grit with a fun activity. They were first asked to write what "grit" means to them on a balloon, and then they had to keep the balloon bouncing without it falling on the ground. Eventually, students were challenged to only use one hand, balance a book on their heads, and drink from a glass to simulate how it feels to balance multiple obligations in life. "It definitely got me thinking about balancing multiple things at the same time," said senior Macy Mizlo.
Unfortunately tomorrow OHS JV and Varsity Girls Basketball games vs. Mercer County have been postponed. They will be rescheduled for Monday Feb 3rd starting at 5:30pm and 7pm.
