THANKS SO MUCH to everyone who helped make our "Lip Dub" an amazing success.  It was truly an event that I will never forget at OHS.  The response to this video has been unbelievable on the Internet and the kids involved showed such awesome school spirit and unity.  I have received e-mails and Facebook messages from people around the country who were truly amazed at what we pulled off.  We could not have done this without the super staff and students at O'Neill High School.  Special thanks for Mr. Brosz for allowing us to attempt this crazy event.


The 4th Period Digital Media class of Desi Pinkerman, Tasha Rowe, Hannah Janousek and Connor Peterson deserve all of the praises you can heap upon them.  They truly did something I did not think we could pull off.


Thanks for making O'Neill High School the amazing place to work that it is.
