What is the camp?
The camp is a part of our high school’s Freshmen Day of Service program. Our freshmen students are introduced to the idea of service by participating in one of many service projects.
The camp will provide 45 freshman students with the opportunity to give back to the community by working with youth athletes in our community, while also supporting the Oconomowoc Food Pantry.
Camp participants will have the opportunity to work at stations focused on a specific sport or physical activity. The stations will be created and run by freshmen students under the supervision of Coach O’Connor.
There is no fee for participation, however, we do ask that participants bring non-perishable food items that will then be donated to the Oconomowoc Food Pantry.
Who is the camp for?
The camp is for any student in grades 3rd through 6th grade that is interested in athletics.
When is the camp?

There will be two camp sessions. The first session is from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, the second session is from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
Camp participants can sign up for one session or both.
Where is the camp?

Masks are required on school buses
Please Bring A Mask From Home For The Bus
Thank you to our students and families for supporting the mask requirement on OASD school buses. That mask requirement is still in place based on the federal transportation mask mandate, but the district has depleted its supply of disposable face masks. As a result, disposable masks will no longer be available to students before they get on the bus at the end of the day. Please begin sending your child onto the bus in the morning with their own face mask and remind them to use that face mask again before they board the bus at the end of the day. As a reminder, face masks must be on before boarding the bus and must be worn for the entire bus ride.

Your Choice Prevention Education Announcement:
Thanks to the Waukesha County Substance Abuse Block Grant, we are able to provide the following:
· Fall Webinar Series – Today we kicked off our Fall webinar series – Substances: An In-depth Look. We will be covering five different substances over the next five weeks. The webinars are on Thursdays from 11:30-1:00pm but will also be recorded and posted at www.yourchoiceprevention.org/webinars. Flyer is attached for more information. The recording of the vaping presentation we had today is also available at the link provided.
· Webinar Subscription – this grant allows access to our ever so popular substance abuse and mental health webinars at NO COST for all your parents and teachers in the school district. Parents/teachers will receive exclusive access to over 30 webinars on the topics of anxiety, depression, suicide, substance abuse, vaping and much more that they can watch on their own time and in the comfort of their own home.
Here is how it works – you share with parents/teachers that this service is now available to them for the 2021-2022 school year. Then parents register by
1. Going to https://www.yourchoiceprevention.org/webinars-members-school,
2. Clicking “join”
3. Create an account and enter code OCONWEB21-22 to remove the fee. Then they can access these webinars whenever they wish. A flyer that you can share with parents is attached.
With busy schedules, and COVID-19 cases on the rise, it’s hard to hold in-person events. These webinars are a great way for parents to have information available whenever it’s most convenient for them.
