OHS Student Council Spotlight
The Orion School District is honored to receive a National Disability Employment Awareness Month award recognizing our school district as a “Catalyst for Change”! This recognition celebrates our commitment to creating inclusive opportunities, promoting accessibility, and ensuring that individuals of all abilities have the opportunity to contribute, grow, and succeed. Patrick joined our custodial staff this year and has been a wonderful addition to OHS.
Members of the OHS Student Council had a great time helping the 3rd graders learn about the Hunger Drive through bingo! The Hunger Drive ends November 4th, so there is still time to donate! Even just one can of food could make a huge difference!
Orion High School would like to thank Anita Jackson for 17 years of dedicated service as office secretary. We wish you all the best on your next chapter!
Plan ahead - Dinner for a Cause! Proceeds go to the Student Hunger Drive and OHS Student Council!
Congratulations, Marching Chargers! They compete again at the Rock Island Marching Showcase tomorrow night and at WIU on Oct. 17.

Today, OHS celebrated our state-qualifying golfers by reviving an old Orion tradition: marching the hallways to the school fight song. Congrats to Evelyn Wilbur, CJ Lister, and John Nedved!
Definitely a good day on the course for the OHS Boys and Girls Golf team as they both participated in the IHSA 1A Sectionals. We had 3 individuals from the boys team in Byron and the girls team (6 participants) at Valley View in Cambridge. Out of the 9 who competed today we had 3 punch their ticket to State! Congratulations to Senior John Nedved, Junior Evelyn Wilbur, and Freshman CJ Lister. John and CJ will compete in the first round of State on Friday in Bloomington. Evelyn will compete as well on Friday in Decatur!! Good luck everyone!

Another good weekend of Volleyball as the OHS Varsity team hosted the Charger Challenge Invite today! The girls went 3-0 in pool play where they then faced a very tough Galena team in the championship game falling short and placing 2nd! Congratulations to Senior Ellie Knupp and Junior Elli Mielke for being selected to the invites All-Tournament team! Great job today ladies!
Emotions ran high as OHS concluded the weeklong spirit competition between the classes with an assembly packed with games. The senior class came out on top with the sophomore class trailing behind in second, the freshmen taking third, and the juniors placing last.

Homecoming Parade Rain Date Plan - If the homecoming parade would be postponed due to rain, the makeup date will be Friday, October 2nd at 4:30pm.
Who wants to make dinner on a rainy, busy night? No one!
The Freshman and Sophomore classes have you covered--for Thursday night at least.
Rain or shine, parade difficulties or not, come into the Commons before the pep assembly and enjoy burgers, hot dogs, cheesy potatoes, and more, all while raising money for the graduating classes of 2029 and 2030. (We can't believe those are real graduation years approaching, either.)
Dinner starts at 5:30! We'll 'c' you there!

Homecoming has arrived! Here is the full schedule of events for this week. We are very aware that Mother Nature is ready to supply us with plenty of water for our Under the C Homecoming theme. Later today we will be sending out a backup plan for the parade if we would need to postpone.
