• In memory of Patricia Shockley, a former OHS staff member who loved to knit and taught so many students to do the same, we will collect new or gently used knitted hats, gloves and scarves for men, women and children in need for the P.S. You Are Loved campaign. The knitted winter items will be collected in the Rotunda from Tuesday, January 17, through Tuesday, February 7. With each item, the students will include a special ribbon that says, “P.S. You Are Loved.” These items will be donated to local homeless individuals on Hearts
  of Service Day.

Please come to the games to cheer on the Panthers and support the Sweets for Sudan Bake Sale. The first game begins at 4 p.m.
