House:

Get ready to bring your school spirit to OT. We’re launching our new House System, where students will be part of one of three teams: Red Dragons, Blue Sharks, or Green Gators.

Throughout the year, houses will compete in fun games and activities to earn points. There will be a scoreboard to track results and prizes for the winning house at the end of the year.

To join, simply write your name and grade to sign up. You don’t need to do anything extra —  just bring your spirit. On activity days, you can choose to participate or cheer on your team from the sidelines.

Let’s make this year exciting and see which house will come out on top.
