FuNKY Friday: (Fun New Knowledge for You)
What Went On?
10/17 - Concessions at Friday Night Football
The transportation team took over the concession stand at the football game. We raised money for families in need in this service opportunity (this was done without pay and a joyful experience).
10/18 - Cross Country Big Northern Conference Meet
We were able to take the Cross Country team to the Big Northern Conference Meet for a really tough course and hard running. This weekend we took a focus often forgotten - the fantastic support of our coaches to our athletes. It was wonderful to see Coach Gabe Poser really get into the race and encourage his runners onto fantastic achievements.
10/21 - Oregon Teacher Joins Teach Plus Illinois Fellowship to Advocate for Early Education
From My Stateline:
A statewide fellowship has given an Oregon elementary teacher the chance to advocate for early education across the state.
“I knew I wanted to teach kindergarten. I bring in these little five-year-olds that can barely stand in a line, and by the end of the year, they are reading and doing math facts,” said Cynthia Kilmer.
Kilmer has taught at Oregon Elementary School for the last eight years. In April, she applied for a state-level leadership following in the summer. By fall, she started her Teach Plus Illinois Early Educator Policy Fellowship, a program that allows teachers working to improve Illinois education.
“I didn’t realize until it’s all typed out, I didn’t realize how much I’ve done over the years. I was really excited that I got chosen for this year because that told me this is my time. This is my time to speak up. This is my time to use my voice and to be a representative,” explained Kilmer.
Congratulations to Cynthia Kilmer!!!

Hawk Families,
please see the following reminder regarding football game expectations. We also kindly ask that students remain inside the stadium for the duration of the game (unless, of course, you are leaving for the night), as leaving and re-entering may be restricted except in unique circumstances. Thank you for your understanding and support!
Let’s come together to celebrate our seniors and Hall of Fame inductees, and cheer on our Hawks!

Kollins Anaya earned another medal with an impressive 3rd place finish, taking home both a medal and a giant pretzel prize! The girls' team finished 9th overall, showing great teamwork and perseverance in challenging conditions. Our runners displayed excellent effort and sportsmanship throughout the day. We’ll compete at the Conference meet on Tuesday and Sectionals on Saturday. Please join us in cheering on our Oregon Junior High athletes as they wrap up an incredible season!
