Snow Week Chairs juniors Norah Kath and Kennedy Katzung announced the Top 12. Kath said, “One thing that is really fun about snow week is that there are multiple people that are voted in because it takes into account all the OHS students besides homecoming winners, and there is a large variety of students in the group, and it is fun to see new faces every year.”
Snow week is a fun-packed week with various activities that students can participate in, in and out of school. Katzung said, “Snow week is a pick me up in the winter, and it is not super stressful. There are lots of fun activities and different ways to get involved while in the midst of the new semester.”
Voting for Top 5 will open Jan. 29, and will close on Jan. 31. The announcement of the students who got Top 5 will be announced Friday, Feb. 2. Snow Week Pepfest will be held on Feb. 12.
