 Preparing for capture the flag.
Community Corps consists of senior students selected to serve as peer mentors to junior students during their first year at OSSM. They are responsible for developing and maintaining positive relationships with students; supporting and encouraging students; serving as a resource by answering questions and providing assistance to students; and being an overall positive influence for students. Community Corps planned and organized the community event of Capture the Flag and a Dessert Potluck. For one hour an intense game of Capture the Flag was played campus wide, 1st floors vs. 2nd floors. After Capture the Flag, each floor baked different desserts with their CRAs (Community Resident Advisors). The students brought their desserts to the Great Hall for everyone to enjoy various goodies before study time.
 Floor desserts!
 Every year the office of admissions searches for 10th graders who have been identified as some of the best and brightest students in the state of Oklahoma.
On Saturday, December 1st, we hosted 109 students and their parents at our annual Sophomore Preview Day experience. At the event they learned about the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics and our exceptional academic program. Each attendee had the opportunity to tour our campus and spent time visiting with faculty, current students and PAOSSM parents.
“Preview Day really helped us confirm that OSSM is a very special place! My wife and I believe that the opportunities that OSSM will offer my daughter will be life changing.” - A sophomore parent who attended the Preview Day experience.
 Doing a little bit every day makes the "impossible" possible
This Thanksgiving, my brother and his family from California came to visit and two of my children returned home from college to join my two younger children who are still living at home. To prepare for this influx of people, my wife and I needed to clear a room of a whole bunch of stuff. It looked overwhelming (and I thought impossible given the short time frame). We rented a small storage closet nearby and daily, my wife and I moved boxes and things. Over ten days, we moved 106 boxes. Just doing a little bit every day made this seemingly insurmountable task doable.

The class is intended to emphasize the way medicine and society have affected one another throughout history and to bridge interests between STEM fields and the Humanities.
