LIFE at OSSM

life

If you take a quick glance into life at OSSM you will find that the students are kept very busy and are provided with a number of opportunities most public high school students don't get.  The last two weeks, students of course attended class and labs, but "extra study time" was provided by our very dedicated faculty and our extraordinary president, Dr. Wang. During the week, those that wanted to participate, were challenged in P.E. by Coach Vossen with Ultimate Frisbee. All of the students were wowed by Wednesday assembly speaker, Thomas Hill III, President of Kimray.  The yearly blood drive brought most of the OSSM community together to participate.  The icing on the cake for most was the late night fried rice surprise.  Everyone loves when Dr. Wang prepares his chicken fried rice, post stickers and steamed mini pork buns.  Parent volunteers were on hand to help in the preparation and clean up. Last but not least was arts and crafts and a fun movie, Oceans 8, to keep students busy over the weekend.

PAINT YOUR STRESS OUT

Art Night & Pizza tonight was hosted by Ms. B and PAOSSM on Friday, September 28th. Students enjoyed using their creative side of the brain and painted some interesting pieces of art. 

Research shows that making art helps improve brain functions and can change your brain for the better.
