Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! As we march through the month of May, we are checking off boxes regarding things that need to be accomplished before graduation and the end of the school year. Fourth quarter progress report grades will be available for viewing today so please check with your child regarding their school work. Also please pay close attention to the “Upcoming Important Dates” section at the bottom of the memo so you can mark your calendars. Here are the communications for this week.

Regional School Budget Meeting!
Please attend the Regional School Budget Meeting next Tuesday, May 15th at 6PM in the OOBHS Cafeteria. This is the meeting when taxpayers vote on individual articles in the school budget. Because of increased state subsidies we are asking for a 0% tax increase! Please come out and support the budget. Thank you!
Spring Band and Choral Concert!
Our annual spring band and choral concert will be held Monday, May 21, at 7:00 PM in the OOBHS Cafeteria. The concert will feature the premiere of Alive With Color, sophomore Vernon Wells’ award winning composition for band. The cost is adults $3, students and senior citizens $2.
OOBHS Boosters Need New Officers!
The OOBHS Boosters are going to need people to help organize and run the club. The current officers are stepping down due to their children’s graduation this year. The current group has done a great job the last 4 years, and have given over $17,000.00 to OOBHS for various student/staff/school things, We would hate for this to come to an end. Please consider becoming an officer to lead our boosters!
Senior Internships!
We are excited to announce that Senior Interns are off and running with their internship experiences. Parents/Guardians, please be sure to check your emails for more information. We appreciate your support in reminding students of requirements and deadlines.
May 24th, 8:30-2:00 pm – Senior Internship Presentations will take place throughout the date in the high school gym. We would love to have you join us if you are able; your seniors will be able to tell you more about the specific times they will be speaking.
