Friday, Sept. 15, OHS held the first pepfest in the new OHS building. Students and faculty were very excited to kick off the new school year. Because of the rain, the pepfest was held in the OHS gym after first hour.
OHS principal, Mr. Kath said, “I love having everyone come together and celebrate being a Huskie.”
As the students entered the gym, the OHS pep band set the mood by playing their songs and the OHS cheerleaders performing. Once everyone was seated and ready to go, Mr. Kath spoke about the importance of celebrating the school and community. Kath said, “Homecoming is a great opportunity to celebrate each other.” The pep band performed the school song to get students in the school spirit. After all of the fall sports captains came down to the floor and updated the students on their current season and then played a game of tug-a-war.
