Snow week is from Feb. 12-16 and is a week filled with fun events including; lunch activities, skits, a dance and even a basketball extravaganza. The theme for this year’s snow week is “OHS Olympics 2018.” The theme was picked to relate to the Winter Olympics that will be occurring this year Feb. 9 through Feb.25.

Top 12 King And Queen Candidates

The senior class has chosen: Sarah Spears, Brooke Parker, Claire Borgerding, Clare Keltto, Greta Jacobson, Hannah Gebur, Lexi Falken, Sheldon Jensen, Ian Rubish, Andy Jensen, Will Titchenal, Mason Padilla, Kenny Johnson, Andrew Jackson, Dylan Meier, Braeden Meier, Terrell Conner, Julia Haarstad, Kyra Rahn, Olivia Spatenka, Taylor Szymanski, Kenna West, Ian Crum, Owen Kosolosky and Spencer Steckelberg

Snow week is a great way for seniors to be recognized by their peers. It is also a good week for everyone in the highschool to have fun and be included in different activities. King candidate Will Titchenal said, “It’s an awesome feeling, to know that people think I am funny enough to make it to the court.” The coming of Snow week is just another milestone along the road of graduation and serves as a nice time to relax before the end of senior year. Queen candidate Kenna West said, “It feels kinda weird being in Top 12 because the past three years I’ve watched all the other seniors be names and now I am one.”
