I am so excited for the 38 award winners that we have for the Southwest Prarie Conference Literary Festival.  I am so proud of our students and their ability  to continue to be successful in a number of competitions.  We will see how these students have placed at this year's festival (April 14).

Thank you to Toussaint Egan!!!!!  Toussaint came back to visit OEHS this past Friday.  He did such a great job performing 2 poems and giving students advice on life, college, and writing.  I was so honored and humbled to see such an amazing person/writer returning to our school.  When I see how well my students are doing, I can't help but be bursting with pride.

Congratulations to Carissa Hartwig on her poetry slam win.  I had such a great time listening to my talented students read and perform their work.  This was one of those days where I can't believe that I get paid to do this job.
