In honor of the Cy-Hawk game on Saturday, tomorrow we are encouraging students and staff to wear their favorite college gear (any college) to show off our favorite teams! Friday we will be a school united by encouraging everyone to wear Pioneer gear!
We had 30 7th and 8th graders join us for the first meeting about mock trial today. Official practice starts next week with the regional competition scheduled for November 16th in Sioux City. It's going to be another great year of mock trial at OMS! #PioneeringPathways


OMS Cheerleaders are having a ball getting their official pictures from Rocky!





The Lightning Thief Novel is grabbing the students attention in 6th Language Arts! So good!


Our 7th graders received their library cards and learned all about our local library in Milford today. Libraries continue to be a great resource of learning for students and we are thankful for the partnership with the Milford Library!






Life at OMS - It's good to be a Pioneer!









Congrats to our MS Cross Country team for a successful first meet of the year! Both the boys and girls team finished in 2nd place and we crowned both the girls and boys individual champions with Ava Wasson winning the girls race and Tyson Fear winning the boys event. Also, all our returning 8th grade runners improved upon their time from last season! Way to go OMS CC!





Students in 7th grade presented over different aspects of the 1960s in preparation for reading The Outsiders! Groovy!










The 5th graders loved making and helping fill the snack bags for the football team! Boom!



Football's turn for some candids as they wait for pictures from Rocky! Looking good!

Some awful acting happening in the class "Bring Your Drama" this morning. Don't worry - it's supposed to be bad! Getting students on stage performing the world's worst auditions. No pressure!! Just be bad!! 😀
What a great way to loosen students up and help them get comfortable performing! #PioneeringPathways



Award winning OMS Mock Trial Sign-Ups start tomorrow for 7th-8th grade! #PioneeringParhways

Fun to get some candids of our OMS VB team while they were waiting to get their official pics from Rocky.






We are excited to bring back Wellness Wednesdays again this year. Hydration is our first theme this year. We will focus on hydration for the last week in August and the month of September. As the weather is especially hot, please encourage your student to drink water throughout the day.

Our 7th graders are learning all about email etiquette in Mrs. Clouse's 7th ELA class today. Teaching our students this real-world skill is so important as strategic communication is vital in our world today. #PioneeringPathways






Students in Mr. Clouse's science class are learning about variables with paper airplanes. The commons is flying high today with this experiment!










We are already going this morning with the Campus Cruiser and the KUOO Morning Show and showcasing the great people and programs we have for students in Okoboji. It's a great way for us to launch our first High Five Friday of the year!


Look what's coming together between the main halls of OMS. This is going to be a great place for outdoor learning! More info to come as we thank the students and multiple community partners who brought this to life! #PioneeringPathways
