Thankful for a BOE that recognizes that the reach of our schools goes beyond the classroom and is willing to have conversations looking at all viewpoints. Man, what a tough time these individuals are in, trying to make the best decisions out of a whole lot of bad.

A little behind the scenes fun at the OW fashion show for 8th grade transition day! The best advice we can give is to be involved. "Love your school & it will love you back." - @OWNovacekOWLS These kids are great examples of this! Looking forward to having our future Owls here!

Due to the Governor's pending executive order regarding the delayed opening of schools summer weights and all summer workouts are cancelled. Look for announcements for possible team meetings from coaches. Hang in there Owls...tough times don't last, tough people do. #owlpower
