Falcon Friday, February 17, 2023
Olathe South High School
Principal's Corner
It has been a short.....but exciting week for the Falcons. We started off Monday making up a missed day from the weather last week and then headed into the long weekend set up by conferences, Presidents Day and the Chiefs Parade.
I know many of our students and staff were able to participate in the festivities for the Super Bowl Championship this week. I am sure this week will make lifelong memories for everyone in the Kansas City metro as we celebrate such a momentous season with the Chiefs.
I had to the privilege to travel to Florida this past week with the OS Dance Team as they competed at Nationals. Our girls did a great job and well represented Olathe South and our community at the competition.
Have a safe and loooooong weekend with your family!
