Another Louisville, Kentucky reference....



In the words of the race track announcer at Churchill Downs….
“Down the stretch they come!!”

The end of the year is rapidly approaching and with the end of the year comes many events and opportunities. 
Let’s start by mentioning the most recent accolades for members of our OCS community:
Art work representing 17 students here at OCS was recently on display at the Warren County Art Educator’s Showcase at the Independence Township Municipal building.  Thanks to Mrs. Nemeth for helping put together our display and for being one of the county-wide organizers of this event.  There are a series of pictures on our school website.
The Spring Music Concert was a huge success. We had more than 500 people in our audience and the concert, directed by Mrs. Shirley Firling, was a great deal of fun! Congratulations to the KG-5 grade students for their exuberance and energy during the show.  Good to see the Village People are still touring!
Congratulations to our third and fourth grade Battle of the Books team for their success at the recent Warren County competition yesterday, May 23rd!  Both teams performed admirably and the third grade team came within a few points of moving on to the finals!  Thanks to Ms. DeWitt and Ms. Mazzeo for supporting the students at this event.   
Two former OCS students, Meredith Dowling and Kevin Wahl have been selected to receive the 2013 Lion’s Club/ DHL Scholarships!  Meredith will be graduating from Warren Hills and Kevin will be graduating from Warren County Vocational-Technical School. 
Finally, our Archery Team traveled to Kentucky for the NASP National Championships and finished 23rd in the nation.  The team competed against more than 150 teams in our middle school division and represented the community and themselves well!  Another successful end to a successful season!
The end of the year events and schedules are coming together and will be sent home soon.
Till next time…
