THE WINGSPAN

Oak Ridge High School - August 11, 2023

Principal Update - Shawn Almond

We are off to a great start! It was an exciting first day with our seniors arriving early for senior sunrise and walking into the building to see the new completed construction. Open House will be this Monday, August 14th from 5:30 - 7:00pm. This is a come and go event where you will be able to meet the teachers and see what your student will be learning this year. Please have your student share their schedule with you or go to parent access for their schedules.

We appreciate your support and I look forward to seeing everyone Monday.

Help Build a Guiness World Record Mum

Help ORHS break the world record for the largest MUM! This is a project to unify ORHS students in a shared goal and to inspire them to reach for difficult goals. We will need supplies donated to complete the project. We will create mum flower from plastic tablecloths. We need 1670 rolls of 9ft ribbons. we encourage any student, present or former, to donate old Homecoming mum's to be tied into the giant mum. This will allow the ORHS family to participate in the record-breaking mum.

Freshmen: blue ribbon and blue plastic tablecloth

Sophomores - red ribbon and red plastic tablecloths

Juniors - white ribbons and white plastic tablecloths

Seniors - gold and silver ribbon

Corporate sponsors are welcome. If you have a contact for a construction crane, we need one to hoist the mum above Woodforest Stadium for our game on 10/27.

We will invite the Guiness Book adjudicator to measure the mum at the Homecoming Parade on Oct. 25.
