August 9 Announcements

Academic Partners would like to invite you to their first meeting of the school year on Thursday Aug 15 at 8:15 a.m. in B-17 at OMMS.  Academic Partners is a division of the PTO that assists teachers and students with classroom needs.  Our main fundraisers are the school supply sale and the February gala.  The team liaisons provide communication between teachers and parents and help coordinate various activities.  We would love for you to come and get involved!!!  If you have any questions, please contact Sandy Junkin at sandy_junkin@yahoo.com.


The OMMS Athletic Boosters is proud to unveil our new logo/motto for OMMS!   The creation of SOAR was a collaboration between boosters, school administration and the athletic directors.  We met this summer and all agreed that that OMMS needed a boost of school spirit.  SOAR was created from this meeting.  We are all excited to see the students get behind the new catchphrase.  The teachers and coaches will be using SOAR in the classrooms and with their teams.  Students will be discussing what SOAR means to them throughout the year.  SOAR is not just for athletes, it is for every student.  Next time you are at the school,  look for the new SOAR flag in the front and the SOAR logo that is visible throughout the school.  #SOAROM
