SCHOOL HAPPENINGS
GATEway Night
On Tuesday, Dec 2nd, Odyssey hosted our GATEway info night. Students and teachers from AP Capstone, AP Art (2D, 3D, and Drawing), AP Biology, Digital Art, Commercial Art, Game Design/Coding, Musical Theater, Environmental Science, Farming, PLTW Engineering & Robotics, MS Art, Science Research, EMR, Band, and Orchestra all represented their talents and showcased to our community some of the many things that make Odyssey Titans great! (If you missed this, there will be another GATEway event on Jan 20th that will cover all 3 of our campuses.)
Titan Media Spotlight
Stay tuned for an up-and-coming student spotlight video from our media group. Ms. Griswell interviewed Lauren Janesky about running our athletic social media page (@ocs.titanathletics). The video was recorded by Haley Picon and should be ready to watch in a couple of weeks. It will be posted here after editing. Thank you to these Titans for their contributions in the important field of digital marketing.
If you would like to work on anything for this newsletter or yearbook, feel free to visit Mrs. Oakes in Room 242.
