Graduation is planned for May 22
OHS is moving forward with tentative
plans for an outdoor graduation
on the football field on May 22
with May 23 as a rain date.
There are no definite plans at this
time as the administration will adjust
based upon the pandemic requirements
at the time.
Last year’s graduation format of
a recorded video is still an option
but the administration would prefer
a one-time event if possible.
As we get more information from
the Vermilion County Health Department
we will adjust the plans.
The administration’s goal is to allow
as many people as safely possible
to be able to see the graduation
of the class of 2021. By using
the football field, we will be outside
and we will have more room to
spread out. We also hope to use the
new cameras installed on the football
field to live stream the event.
Student Council to host second blood drive
The OHS Student
Council will be hosting
another Blood Drive in
February.
The drive will be held
from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45
p.m. on Sat., Feb., 20 in
the Bloodmobile parked
in the OHS parking lot.
Students will be able to
Activities slowly
beginning to return
The VVC has set a
Scholastic Bowl schedule
and we hope to see some
Comets compete for the
first time since the fall.
The matches will begin
February 4 and will be
held remotely.
In the past week, the
IHSA has also sent out numerous
communications
that indicate a possible return
of some athletics.
As soon as practices
and games are available,
Mr. Odle or the coaches
will reach out to the athletes.
Stay tuned!
sign up during their lunch
hours in the weeks leading
up to the drive. Students
and community members
can reserve a time to give
