Principal’s Memo
Posted onHi Everyone,
Lots of activity here at OOBHS, there will be announcements and updates sent out in addition to my weekly memo in the coming days and weeks to keep you in the know. It’s hard to believe seniors are taking their finals in ten days before they head out into the “Real World” to complete their professional internships, in which they will write reflections and present their experiences to a panel in the coming weeks. Please pay close attention to the “Upcoming Important Dates” section at the bottom of the memo. It will help you with our end of year schedule. Here are the communications for this week!
Next Wednesday, May 2nd is a full student day!

Travel Opportunity Next Spring!
Next year there will be a trip to Costa Rica and Nicaragua over April Break. Students will journey into the heart of Central America, seeing one of the first European cities in the mainland Americas, discovering the volcanic Arenal Region and experiencing the rich wildlife in the Rincón de la Vieja National Park. If you’re interested in learning more about this exciting and enriching opportunity, there will be a parent and student meeting on Thursday, May 3 at 6:30pm in the Old Orchard Beach High School Cafeteria.
You can RSVP to the meeting through the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/oobhs-trip-to-costa-rica-and-nicaragua-2019-tickets-45253496426

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!
