We wish to say "well done" to our mighty 8th Grade. The students recently received more than 30 letters of admission from the South Bay's leading private high schools, including more than 15 admitted with honors based on entrance exams scores.They are headed for great new adventures, and we are proud of them all.
New School Web site Coming Soon
OOS aims to have new site up in spring 2009
Old Orchard is in the process of planning and designing a new, interactive web site. It will include faculty, staff and parent portals, calendars that are easy to navigate, and lots more information about what's happening at school. Please bear with us while we go through the lengthy design process - but do return to see our new look on the web!
Synopsis Science Fair Honors
Middle School students claim 7 awards, including 6 first place prizes.
OOS Middle School students made a huge splash at the 2009 Synopsis Science Fair, winning prizes and awards far out of proportion to their numbers. Student projects impressed the judges, who award them 7 first place awards in everything from engineering and physics to botany, a second place award and numerous special prizes from fair sponsors.
Students Lift
Spirits of Oil Spill Workers
Thank you cards inspire a
call and an invitation from Coast Guard Admiral.
OOS
Middle School students were at science camp in the Marin Headlands when
the Cosco Busan hit the Bay Bridge. When the spill prevented some
students from going on a tide pool expedition and they saw their first
oil-slicked bird, they had an idea.
They sat down
and wrote and illustrated thank you notes to the Coast Guard and others
helping clean up the mess and save wildlife. The cards were shared at
clean-up crew meetings and inspired a call from the admiral and an
invitation to see rescued birds released at Half Moon Bay. Read
reactions to the cards at the Coast Guard
web site; or see our students interviewed at the bird
release on NBC 11.
