Tiger Basketball players Ian Winkler and Rex Hallam were selected to the Duster Thomas Hoops Classic all-tournament team following stellar performances during the tournament. Senior Ian Winkler was also named MVP. No doubt his game winning free throw in the semifinal round aided in his selection. Congratulations Ian and Rex – way to represent OTN!

Mrs. Pampe's physics class recently completed their Rube-Goldberg Project. Students were in teams, built contraptions with a total of 12 simple machines (two each of the six simple machines, though more were allowed), with the end goal of a golf ball making it into a box. The students' projects were then displayed for members of staff and faculty from the high school and district office. The students did a great job and it was interesting to see the builds they designed!

School Resource Officer, Brad Ameter, would like to thank everyone who donated to this year's annual SRO Toy Drive. Over 500 coats and sweatshirts were received, along with multiple bags of toys and a big toy donation from Rural King. I also received around $700 in monetary aid for all three schools to benefit students and their needs. Both handout nights at the Richland County Elementary School were a huge success. Thank you to all RCCU #1 staff and organizations for their support, as well as local business owners and individuals who donated to such a wonderful cause. Start bagging your old toys for next year's drive! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
