School Based
JTI Retreat
If any 6th, 7th, or 8th grader is interested in attending there is a registration pamphlet in the MS office and is due on April 7th by the end of the school day to Miss Jacobs mailbox.
One Step Ahead Members Become JTI Leaders
On March 15th Dani Bruning, Sydnee Shanks, and Cassidy Schling lead the JTI group through an obstacle course. This was no ordinary obstacle course. The students had to wear fatal vision goggles while walking through the course. Most of the students had a hard time walking over hurdles and walking around cones. The OSA leaders wanted to get the point across that drinking can affect your coordination skills.
Certificate of Appreciation

Wood County 2016 Youth Survey Results
Here is an article written in the BG Independent Media about the press release for the results to the Wood County 2016 Youth Survey:
Wood County Youth Olympics
A Message From Sydney Pryka, Volunteer Coordinator:
THANK YOU YOUTH OLYMPIC VOLUNTEERS!!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for donating your time and energy to the Wood County Youth Olympics.
Many compliments from participants, parents, community members, and volunteers have been received on a job well done!
It is due to your dedication that we were able to serve over 500 students and award a total of 270 medals.
Without each and every one of our volunteers, the Wood County Youth Olympics would not have been such a huge success.
As you may know, in order to win the Gold Medal Award, all of the volunteers registered
under your departments, agencies, schools, and companies had to be present and volunteer this past Saturday!
The winners of the Gold Medal Award were Otsego Local Schools and the Wood County Sheriff’s Office!
Congrats! You will be receiving your traveling trophy sometime in the next couple of weeks! Thank you!!
