Attention OJH Parents and Guardians: Congratulations To The Following Students Who Will Be Inducted Into The OJH National Junior Honor Society Tonight @ 6PM In The OJH Gym.
Last week our OJH 7th-grade critical thinkers braved the Canadian Boreal Forest during ELA class. During their adventure, they encountered a Black Bear, a Swarm of Bees, Got Lost, and had to find shelter for the night. Then, they had to determine the best way to return home after overcoming all the obstacles. When each group survived, the media wanted to hear about it, so the hikers gave a press conference.
Our Bobcats showed impressive use of critical thinking skills and had a blast with this activity!
OJH Football is back! Last night, the 7th and 8th-grade teams had their first scrimmages.

7th grade offensive standout - Hunter Lincecum
7th grade defensive standout - Tripp Kinchen

8th grade offensive standout - Landon Agerton
8th grade defensive standout - Kamden Smith-Slagle
8th grade lineman standout - Connor Haley
📘 Science in Action!
Last week, our OJH students became junior chemists!
Students made homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures, identified each type of mixture, and then modeled how to separate the mixtures.
From creating their own mixtures to testing separation methods, our scientists-in-training showed incredible teamwork, problem-solving, and hands-on learning. 💡⚗️
Check out the pictures below of students mixing, identifying, and separating their creations — science learning at its best! 🌟
