Yesterday was school day #100!! Some of Mrs. Goeke's class celebrated by dressing up as if they were one-hundred-years-old. Fun! (Let's hope we are all as energetic as the 3rd grade when we are aged 100!)
After the recent snow day, Mrs. Lorig's first graders enjoyed making "snow" for a quick science experiment! They mixed conditioner with baking soda and the reaction even made the "snow" cold! Everyone enjoyed playing with it!
We hope you are enjoying the warmer but slightly gloomy weather today. Happy February... tomorrow! Here is the February 2025 newsletter for Orangeville School District: https://5il.co/36rea

An OHS alum made history in her college sports program, not once, but twice in one week! Last weekend scoring her 138th point as a junior at Penn State, Tessa Janecke broke the record to top the leader board for career points in women's hockey there. This weekend, she surpassed the men's record as well, to now become the overall career points leader in hockey program history at Penn State with 141 (and the season isn't over)! Way to go Tessa - the broncos love to see you continue to excel through your hard work and talent! (Photo credit to @PennStateWHKY )
