Greetings!

OC logo

Recent weeks have allowed parents and teachers to come together at sporting events, conferences, Fall Festival, math nights and other various meetings and events. It is an honor to work and engage with loving and supportive parents who have trusted us, as school employees, to teach and to guide students to knowledge, wisdom and spiritual understanding. I am encouraged as teachers and students embrace prayer as a means to a common goal. I am thankful for our students and remain encouraged by the prayers, the support and the unity that have surrounded our efforts at OCS.

 

Colossians 1: 9

Since the day we have heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

 

 
Roger VanDorp
Interim Superintendent
