Yesterday after school, 29 DECA students and two staff members loaded up on a school bus to go to the St. Louis Blues hockey game. Many of the students had never been to a Blues game before. It was an exciting game as regulation ended with a score of 5-5. There was no scoring in the 5 minute overtime, and the Blues would eventually fall in the shootout. Next week, some of our OHS DECA Members will travel to Washington DC for the annual DECA Conference.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

This past week our OHS Choir program had 7 students eligible to audition for the Missouri All-State Choir. We received the results on Sunday. We are so proud of all of the hard work each student put in to prepare for the auditions on top of everything else they are working on! Here were our results:

Honorable Mention: Elliott Cooper & Kaitlyn Lange

Bass 1st Alternate: Eli Shields

Tenor All-State: Ashden Murphy

Ashden and Eli will rehearse with the other Central District students who were in the top 6 scores of their section in January. The top 4 scores from each section will perform at the Missouri Music Educators Association Conference on the last Saturday of January, and should something happen and another bass not be able to make their commitment, Eli will move up to take the spot.

All 4 students will also be invited to sing with the Missouri All-State Festival Choir in Springfield next July.
