💙 Patriot of the Month: Tim Hayes! 🚌⭐
Help us congratulate Tim Hayes, one of our amazing bus drivers and our August Patriot of the Month!
Tim was nominated for the incredible care, patience, and kindness he shows one of our self-contained students. He goes far beyond simply getting students safely to and from school—he makes sure she is ready for the day, greets her with a smile, helps her when she needs extra support, and even fixes her hair when needed. ❤️
This year brought a big transition as she moved from elementary school to middle school. Having Mr. Tim there each morning to welcome her, encourage her, and help her feel safe and comfortable made that transition a little easier.
One nominator shared that “his caring presence helped make what could have been a difficult transition feel much more comfortable.”
That is what Patriot Pride is all about.
Mr. Tim, thank you for showing up every day with compassion, patience, and a genuine heart for our students. Your job may be getting students from Point A to Point B, but the impact you have along the way is so much greater.
Congratulations, Tim! We are proud to celebrate you! 💙🚌
This week in Dr. Wolfe’s 10th Grade Lit. & Comp. III classes, students became Source #1! They collected qualitative data from their own generational experiences, then dumped, clustered, connected and collaborated on ideas to identify patterns, themes, and claims. This student-generated evidence becomes the first of four sources they will analyze, compare, cite, and synthesize as they build an evidence-based argumentative essay.
We are so proud of OCHS Senior Victor Ross for being chosen as the Rotary Student of the Month for August. Victor demonstrates leadership, character, and commitment to his school and community on a daily basis. Congratulations Victor!
Picture day is September 3rd!
