Over the past two weeks, OMS 8th graders have participated in boaters safety courses hosted by Missouri Highway Patrol officers. So many new licenses were earned from this important course in our area.
Boater safety is a top priority in our community, and we’re grateful for our partnership with the Missouri Highway Patrol to provide this valuable resource to our students! They even took the time to have some fun with our students in their down time. Check them out playing kickball!
