ANNOUNCEMENTS

The following Student Council members need to pick up and pay $12 for their t shirts:  Blair Langan & Keegan Moore.

Today and tomorrow mark the memorial anniversary of Kristallnacht, or "Night Of Broken Glass", an organized pogrom (violent action or riot) against Jews in Germany and Austria on November 9-10, 1938. Kristallnacht was orchestrated by the Nazis in retaliation for the assassination of a German embassy official in Paris by a seventeen-year-old Jewish youth named Herchel Grynzspan. Hundreds of synagogues and 7,500 businesses were destroyed, almost 100 Jews were killed, and 30,000 were arrested and sent to concentration camps. German Jews were subsequently held financially responsible for the destruction wrought upon their property during this program.  This event marked the beginning of an onslaught of state sponsored "anti-other" actions against Jews and other targeted groups.  There is an educational timeline in the 200 hallway that depicts the progression toward The Shoah (known as The Holocaust).  The OHS Holocaust Literature Class invites students to take a sticky note and leave an appropriate question or comment after taking some time to learn from this display.  Thanks for participating!


A reminder to all students in grades 7 – 12 that the annual community Veterans Day Program will be held TOMORROW at St. Mary’s School.  The program will begin at 10:30 am.  Students will be dismissed at approximately 10:10 am and you will walk to St Mary’s with your 3rd period class.  You will return to OHS immediately following the program with your 3rd period class.  When you arrive back to OHS you will proceeds to 4th period.  Band and choir students will be dismissed a little early.  The weather will be cold and windy.  Please plan accordingly.

Starting on Monday, November 13th students who are failing a class will be expected to stay after school during the early out time from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm.  Students should plan to use this time to improve academic performance.  Support and assistance will be offered to students as best as possible by staff that are available.  Attendance is expected and attendance will be documented.

Basketball T Shirt order forms are available.  Order forms can be picked up from Mrs. Ludwig’s office or Mrs. Price Office.  Order forms are due back on Thursday, November 16th.

Attention Boys Basketball Players:  We will have our preseason meeting for anyone interested in going out for High School Basketball TODAY.  See board by locker room for your time slot.  Talk to Coach Kallhoff if you absolutely cannot make the meeting.
