Spanish Club members make tie blankets for a childrens hospital. My favorite part of fundraisers like this is being able to support an incredible cause while creating a fun event for all students in our school to enjoy, said Spanish Club member Brendan Horn. I feel that doing fundraisers like this is a wonderful way to give back to the community, support others, and create a lively environment in our school. The club raised more money than needed and was able to purchase additional supplies to make the blankets.

Mrs. Laura Thomas honors Mr.Ken Kolwyck by wearing a shirt made in his honor.

Many of OHS’s science teachers were wearing smiley face t-shirts on Friday Sept. 13, in honor of the nine year anniversary passing of popular chemistry teacher, Mr. Ken Kolwyck.

Mr.Kolwyck passed away the evening of Tuesday Sept. 14, 2010 from an unexpected heart attack when he was 63 years old. He began teaching at OHS in 1997 and taught for 12 years before he passed.

Mr.Kolwyck was highly respected in terms of teaching and was known for his yellow smiley face coffee mug that he brought with him every day. Because of the well known mug, bright yellow shirts with a smiley face and his initials were made, English teacher Mr. Ed Taylor suggested to wear the shirt on Sept.13 to honor him.
