THIS WEEK’S SCHEDULE

Senior Information

Attention Seniors-you have the opportunity to pay $50 and claim a parking spot that is your own through the duration of the school year. You will then customize your spot. This means you will have your own parking spot for the entire school year customized by you!

If you want to personalize and reserve a parking space you have until Thursday, September 9th to turn in the application and money to the ORHS cheerleaders. Please stop by the arena after school on Tuesdays or Thursdays to see a cheerleader, or check the iNEWS for a link to the sign up form and Venmo information.   (M,W,F) – B. Estep

Seniors, are you interested in the University of Virginia?  The Jefferson Scholarship provides the entire cost of attendance, and many supplemental enrichment experiences, at the University of Virginia.  If you are interested to be ORHS’s nominee for this scholarship submit a resume and a personal statement as to why you should be chosen to Ms. Taylor by Friday, October 29^th.

The tradition continues. It’s time for the Senior Shirt Design Contest—the shirt that every senior gets to sign. Please submit your designs for the Class of 2022 Senior Shirt to Mrs. Ledden in Room CS347 by Tuesday, September 28. You do not have to be a senior to submit designs for the shirt—open to all grade levels.

We need a front shirt design and a back shirt design.  Each of these designs is a separate “contest”.  Prizes for each contest are as follows:  Front – $25; Back – $25. (That’s $50 if you win both!)

Be sure to incorporate ORHS, Seniors, and Class of 2022 into your drawings.  Place your name and first period teacher’s name on the back of each design entry.  Entries must be original work and if selected, will become the property of Oak Ridge High School. (Selection committee reserves the right to combine two or more designs in which case each person will receive prize money.) (9.8 / 9.9) T. Ledden
