The first semester of the 2007-08 school year is about to end. December is a very busy month with programs and activities almost every evening during the week. We would like to encourage each student to do their very best keeping up with their studies as well as getting plenty of rest.
The USD 420 Board of Education, Administration, Faculty and Staff would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The community is still a buzz about the school musical “Honk” that was performed in November! Congratulations to Ms. Wassemiller, Mrs. Camarena and Mr. Graversen and students who were involved in the OCHS production. The crowds enjoyed the performances very much.

Bus Safety
This school year we have experienced an increase in the amount of vehicles passing USD 420 school buses with the red flashing lights on while unloading and loading students. Please be very cautious when you see a yellow school bus. Be prepared to stop just in case. The Highway 31 area east of town has had the most problems with vehicles passing buses. Remember it is against Kansas law to pass a school bus that has its red flashers on. Drivers will be ticketed by the local Police. Please help us in protecting our students.
Veterans Day 2007
We would like to thank Staff Sergeant Russell Cowan who brought back a flag from Iraq and presented it to Mr. Stoppel at the Veteran’s Day Ceremony on November 12. We appreciate the many veterans and active military personnel of Osage City and the commitment you have made to our country.
