Olympia CUSD 16

Yesterday the OMS wrestling team attended Troy's "Best of the Midwest" Dual Tournament. The competition here is very tough every year and is a good chance to see different teams for us. We went 2-3 on the day, with two of our losses only losing by one match. Our wrestling was highlighted by Ryder Hankins, Corbin Phillips, and Zane Krehbiel going undefeated on the day. Overall the team wrestled very well and are showing great improvements on the year so far.

Today our OMS 8th grade volleyball team volunteered their time helping referee and work the score table for a local community program. This group of girls continues to represent Olympia with pride—not just on the court, but off the court as well. So proud of their leadership, service, and willingness to give back to the community!

The 7th Grade Boys Basketball postseason started today at Washington as the boys battled the host school, Washington MS. It was a tight game the entire time but the boys battled and held on strong winning 30-23. Isaiah Gaither led the team in scoring with 12 points followed by Luke Milligan and Reece Peifer both with 6 points. The boys are back in action Monday taking on the 2-seed Farmington Central at Washington MS at 6 PM. Go Spartans!
7th Grade record: 17-6

We completed our first Unified Foods cooking lab, and it was a big hit! Students made their own trail mix while practicing essential kitchen skills like reading a recipe, selecting the correct measuring tools, and measuring dry ingredients. Between the learning, teamwork, and tasty results, most students left with empty bags because the trail mix was just that good! 👩‍🍳🍫🥨🍒🥜
