💙🏈Spartan Pride Shines Bright! 🏈💙 One of the best parts about the Olympia community is the way it shows up, through support, inclusion, and connection in every corner of our schools. From the classrooms and hallways to the football field, we are truly blessed with the best students, teachers, coaches, administration, and families. Last night, our very own Olympia Transition Program student, Paul Martin, got to experience the excitement of Friday Night Lights with the Oly Football team! Paul ran out of the tunnel with the players and cheered from the sidelines alongside the coaches and team. Paul’s love for Olympia football runs deep, and this moment was extra special! Thanks to two of our amazing Unified PE buddies, Brendon Hardimon and Colby Maness, who helped prepare him for his big debut during PE on Friday. With their encouragement and teamwork, Paul was ready to shine! It was truly an experience of a lifetime, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. What a wonderful reminder of the community and inclusion that make Olympia so special. #SpartanPride #OlympiaStrong #InclusionMatters #FridayNightLights 💙💙

The Olympia HS cross Country team is heading to Porta for regionals today!
We had a blast celebrating our students' incredible Respect, Responsibility, and Positive Relationships at the Quarter 1 PBIS Assembly today at Olympia Middle School! 🎉👏
We aren't just celebrating grades—we're celebrating the positive behavior that makes our school a great place to be. A massive thank you to our Spartans for crushing Quarter 1! The energy was through the roof for our grade-level games and the grand finale raffle!
Today's Highlights:
➡️6th Grade duked it out in the high-stakes Rock, Paper, Scissors Championship! The final winner, Ella, was surrounded by a massive, cheering crowd!
➡️7th Grade got noisy with the classic game of Barn Animals! They had to listen carefully to find their herd! Our winning team was made up of Rowan, Lydia, Abby, Kinley, and Cameron. Way to go, 7th graders!
➡️8th Grade showed their endurance during Ships & Sailors! Only one champion survived Captain Steve's commands, and it was Jase!
➡️Raffle Grand Finale! We gave away a rare Corn Squishmallow, a large Sonic Squishmallow, and 3 bubble machines, but the ultimate prize was the LEGENDARY, GIGANTIC BAT SQUISHMALLOW!
A huge shout-out to our incredible teachers and staff for their support and efforts in putting together this fun event, and congratulations to all the winners!
Keep earning those Spartan tickets and making good choices during Q2! We're already cooking up another celebration!

The OMS Speech Team worked hard at practice this afternoon on their community service project: cards for residents at the Hopedale Commons.
Spartan Nation, we hope to see a great crowd for the game on Friday night. Olympia football is participating in Channel 1450's "Fill the Trailer" challenge. We hope to fill our equipment trailer with non-perishable items that can be used at local central Illinois food banks. We would love if everyone coming to the game would bring a little something if you can. The trailer will be parked near the entrance gate. Show our Spartan Pride, Spears up!

We’re back home Thursday night to close out our regular season — come pack the gym and cheer on your Lady Spartans, especially our four seniors as we celebrate Senior Night!
