From our family at OOBHS Happy Holidays! Students will return to school on Wednesday, January 2nd. Please make sure that you and/or your child communicates with teachers to make sure any work that needs to be completed can be done over the break. This can be a very productive time to catch up with missed work. I thank you all for supporting our school this year. If you need anything over break call or text me at (207) 351-0099. Next Principal’s Memo will be Friday January 4th. We’re on to 2019!
Here are this week’s announcements:
