Orion Middle School

Congratulations to the 8th-grade students who were officially promoted to the high school. We are proud of your accomplishments, and we can't wait to see all the amazing things the future holds for you!

OMS students celebrated Mrs. Weller's retirement as she did her "retirement lap". She may have grabbed Mrs. Lund, who retired last year but returned to help out, as a lap buddy. Congrats, Mrs. Weller, and enjoy your next adventure! :)

Congrats to our OMS State Track qualifiers! Reed will be competing in the hurdles today, and Britton will be competing in the high jump tomorrow! Way to go and good luck to both!

While it's a little late, OMS will always appreciate its teachers! Thank you, Student Council, for leading this fun way to show our appreciation.

8th-grade students have been working hard on designing rockets! Students then went outside to launch the rockets and see who had the victorious rocket. They had a BLAST.

OMS Student of the Week: Lilly!

Lilly has a great attitude in class. She sets the example of what an exceptional student looks like by working hard while having fun at the same time. She lifts her peers up with her positive attitude while serving as a model for how to behave during a lesson. I never have to worry that Lilly will get off-track; instead, she is an asset in class by keeping those around her focused.- Mr. Cutkomp

Lillian showed honesty and integrity in a situation during class. She was very mature, articulate, and discreet in how she handled the situation, and her actions were a true reflection of her strong moral compass. Thank you for doing the right thing, Lillian. We appreciate you. - Mrs. Weller

OMS 8th-graders had a lovely trip to Modern Woodman Park yesterday to watch the "School Day" game! The students had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather and watching the Bandits win with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th! OMS was lucky enough to be chosen to have some students help with their pre-game activities. Lane delivered the game ball, Tessa cleared home plate, Colton was the mini-manager, and Bryce declared, "Play ball!"

Happy National Administrative Professionals' Day to the best secretaries around! Thank you, Mrs. Sandburg and Mrs. Boyd, for keeping OMS running smoothly. We are tremendously lucky to have you!

OMS students had the amazing opportunity to listen to Holocaust child survivor Yvonne Aronson. Yvonne was born in 1939 in Brussels. In 1940, her father and brother were taken to a labor camp. Yvonne and her mother went into hiding at a convent. Yvonne's mother became extremely ill, but thanks to a generous local pharmacist, they were able to hide in his cellar. After her mother's recovery, Yvonne was sent to a widow who was willing to hide and care for her, where she spent the next three years. After the war, Yvonne immigrated to the U.S. in March 1947. Yvonne's father had perished in Auschwitz. The students were so lucky to hear directly from a survivor of the Holocaust.

6th-grader Rosalee attended the Holocaust dinner and reception. Rosalee placed third in the entries. Rosalee was able to privately chat with Yvonne, a child survivor of the Holocaust. Rosalee described Yvonne as witty and relatable. Congrats, Rosalee, on your 3rd-place entry.
