Facing Reality

Ontario Middle School’s eighth graders recently had their own reality show known as the Reality Store. With the support of the eighth grade staff and organized by the School Counselor, Diane Cunningham, students were given a glimpse of their future at twenty-five years old in a fun way. 

 

Based on a career assessment and according to their current career goals, students were assigned a monthly check. Their monthly check included their level of education, occupation, credit card debt, student loan debt where applicable, and number of children.  (Continued)

Sixth Graders Perform Civic Service
OMS 6th graders are in the process of completing service projects to help them understand the meaning of civic service. They have chosen a wide variety of projects to complete. Examples of students' hard work include helping neighbors/relatives with yard or house work, visiting nursing homes, volunteering at animals shelters, and collecting/donating supplies and food to local food pantries and shelters, among many others.

Mr. Canfield also participated in service projects by raising awareness about global poverty through the "Live Below the Line" campaign. (Continued)
 
Branch Library Invites Summer Readers
The sixth graders would like to extend a big thank you to Cathy Morgan, new Branch Manager at the Ontario Branch of the public library!  On Friday, May 10, Mrs. Morgan spent all day meeting with Mrs. Murray’s classes.  She shared valuable information regarding the summer reading program, and really made it fun by playing “Book Bingo”!  The theme for this year’s summer reading program is “Beneath the Surface” and runs from Monday, June 3 thru Saturday, July 27. 
Volunteer with Big Heart
Kudos to librarian, Julia Miller, one of the middle schools’ gracious volunteers who willingly gave of her Saturday to assist with this year’s NCC track meet at Crestline.  Miss Miller came to cheer on the Warriors, but also to help in the running of the meet when she learned that volunteers were greatly needed. Crestline hosted the event at their new track, but were definitely short of help trying to officiate all events. When Miller heard that meet officials were requesting any adult volunteers, she offered her time and expertise.  She is a frequent volunteer for the middle school track events usually seen recording times at the finish. Thank you Miss Miller!  
OMS Warriors NCC Track Champs!
It was a real nail-biter to determine the overall champion of the 2013 NCC Middle School Track Championship, Saturday at Crestline. It came down to the results of the final race of the day, the 1600 relay, as Ontario’s girls captured first and were given the title of NCC Champions in what will be the final NCC conference meet for the Warriors. Unfortunately, the meet’s results have yet to be posted, so none of the other final scores or places are available at this time.

The ladies dueled with Galion’s girls with both teams showcasing tremendous efforts to push their perspective schools forward in the scoring. Amanda Kuenzli was a triple winner on the day with her first-place finishes in the 1600, 800, and as a member of the winning 1600 relay. She improved her 1600 time with a 5:52 and then came back with a 2:38 in the 800, just one second shy of her best effort. (Continued)
