JOSTENS
Jostens met with all Seniors on Thursday, September 19th @ 10:30 a.m. to explain and pass out ordering information for graduation supplies, and measure Seniors for their Cap & Gown. If your Senior didn't attend the meeting, the best practice is to add 2 inches to their height without shoes on.
All graduation orders are due by October 17th, 2024, to avoid a late fee. Click this link for ordering information and to place your graduation order.
Cap/Gown/Announcement packages are available to fill all your needs, or you may order an individual cap/gown/stole/tassel unit. (Unopened Cap & Gown units may be returned if you do not participate in the 2025 Ceremony).

PRE-ACT PRACTICE EXAM
WHAT: The pre-ACT and ACT are required state assessments that are taken in the spring. To best prepare students for the assessment, we do two practice assessments. This not only gives students an opportunity to practice, but it also gives teachers an idea of what areas each student needs to continue building.
SCHEDULE: We will have an adjusted class schedule this day to accommodate for the testing times. Classes will still run for our 9-11th graders.
SENIORS: Will stay home this day.

BLOOD DRIVE
American Red Cross Blood Drive | October 16
WHAT: The National Honor Society will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross
WHEN: October 16th from 8:30am to 2:30pm
WHERE: Osceola High School Auditorium
HOW: For more information or to make an appointment to donate go to THIS WEBSITE
WHY: The NHS is committed to strengthening our community and helping meet hospital and patient needs through blood donations. This blood drive is our way of giving staff, students, and neighbors an opportunity to help save lives. Blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteer blood donors. With someone in the U.S. needing blood every two seconds, blood products must be constantly replenished, according to the Red Cross. Please donate if you can!
CONTACT: Please reach out to Mrs. Campeau with any questions.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
BLESSING BASKETS
Could your family benefit from some additional resources this holiday season?
Blessing Baskets is an Osceola-based community program that supplies toys, clothes, winter gear, and food vouchers to families who could use some extra help around the holidays. Last year's changes were so successful, we have decided to keep it this way going forward so that the parents/guardians can be more involved in the selection of items for their children. Just a reminder that because of this change, after you have chosen to sign up, coordinators (Kayli Schounard and Jen Rud) will be in contact with you to set up a personal shopping date and time. These days are expected to fall in the week of December 8th, and if you or your chosen delegate are unable to attend, there will not be a delivery option. Please fill out the following link or reach out to either one of us if you have any questions.
Please respond by October 20th, so we can plan and prepare. You will be contacted via your preferred method for the next step.
Thank you,
Kayli Schounard (715) 497-3593
