Exciting news! The new softball scoreboard has been installed and the old scoreboard removed. Thank you to the Orion Athletic Boosters and the Brick Paver Fundraising Committee for their generosity in purchasing the new scoreboard. Also a huge thank you to our district staff (Tom Hamerlinck, Henry Carson, Mitchel White, and Cooper Herd) for all of the work they put into the scoreboard projects. The larger scoreboard and new centerfield location look great!

Please consider making a difference in a young child's life this holiday season. Your donation can be dropped off at the high school anytime between 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. If you don't have time to shop that's ok - cash donations are accepted as well!

As part of his Work-Based Learning Experience (formerly Co-Op), OHS senior Cooper Herd is employed in the Orion School District transportation department. He knew he'd help maintain the transportation fleet, but he probably never imagined he'd help prep and install 28ft steel beams for the new softball scoreboard. Also, a big thank you to the Rental Guys for donating the use of the forklift to install the beams! Not sure it would have happened without the lift.
Tomorrow night's Boys Basketball game at United (Monmouth), will be doing a "Food Drive" and you can bring in 2 non-perishable items for FREE admission to the game! Show your support and help them out if you are planning to attend the game!

The Orion School District would like to thank the Orion Athletic Booster Club and the Village of Orion for all of their work in purchasing and installing a new scoreboard at Love Park. In addition to benefiting the OHS baseball team, it will also benefit youth programs within the district as well. Additionally, the Orion Athletic Booster Club, the OHS Brick Fundraising Committee, and the school district collaborated in purchasing a matching scoreboard that will be installed at the OHS Softball Field in a new centerfield location. Thank you to everyone involved!
