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.

Recess Rocks! 1st Place Winner

O'Neill Elementary's 5th graders recently entered their "Healthier Habits" Solution video into a competition sponsored by Recess Rocks and won 1st place in the Group Division.  Fifth Grade students took on the Healthier Habits Challenge in Coach Morrow's P.E. class and used Challenge Based Learning to make a difference in their family's health habits. On Monday, March 7, 2011 they were presented with a $2,500.00 check and a day of fun dance and movement activities led by Miss Kim from Recess Rocks.  The contest was part of the nationwide Recess Rocks childhood obesity prevention campaign launched by Community Health Center, Inc. in September 2010. Emily Morrow, a sixth-grader who placed second in the individual category, was also be recognized.

OHS Hosts Loup City Public Schools

Katie,

Again, thank you very much for your time and expertise. Our staff really
appreciated your frank and honest discussion with us. It is almost like
waiting for Christmas but trying to get mom and dad to actually buy you
the present you really want. We also want to extend a thank you to your
teachers and students for how well they handled the distractions and
seemingly dumb questions and comments. Also, please pass along our
graditude to your administration for opening your school to us. It was a
great trip and well worth our time and travel. Undoubtedly, we will be in
touch more as we continue our trek to 24/7 learning.

Thanks again,
Nick Hodges
