The OHS Leadership Class selected Crossroads Day School as the recipient of the funds raised during Charity Week this year. Thanks to their incredible efforts, a total of $13,034 was raised! These funds will go directly toward enhancing student learning at Crossroads Day School. Earlier this year, Crossroads' principal, Don Maskill, delivered a presentation to the leadership class telling them that, if Crossroads was selected, the money would be used for PBIS initiatives, microscopes for science class, resources for the library, field trips, and more. He stated that he'd also love to add a flagpole and flag by the girls' school. Mr. Maskill and the Crossroads team are all so grateful and appreciative of the work the OHS students, staff, and school community have done for Crossroads ❤️ What an outstanding way to make a positive impact—great job, Wildcats! 🐾 #OCSWildcats #WorldclassWildcats
