Principal’s Memo
Posted onHi Everyone,
April vacation is now upon us! I’m sending the memo a day early as tomorrow is a non-student day. Please continue to stay informed of the events going on here at OOBHS as things will happen very quickly when we return from vacation, especially for seniors and their families. Please contact me if you need anything over break. I will be in and out of the building but call or text me anytime, day or night, my cell phone number is (207) 351-0099. Here are this week’s communications:
Megan Niedzwiecki!
Congratulations to Megan Niedzwiecki, who was named the Saco Bay Rotary Club OOBHS April 2018 Student of the Month!

Fundraiser for Humboldt Hockey Families
Former OOBHS students and current junior hockey players JP Natishan and Chris McGrath have started a fund-raiser in support of the Humboldt Broncos Jr Hockey team to support the families of team members involved in the horrible bus accident last week in Saskatchewan. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be sent to the families. JP and Chris have reached out to their beloved community of OOB for support. Your support is greatly appreciated!
