On Wednesday, March 26, the High School Fiddle Club, led by Orchestra Director and Fiddle Club Advisor Mr. Alex Safford, visited South Davis Elementary for a special musical collaboration with the third grade. During the visit, third graders led by Mrs. Emma Glasgow performed their circle dance to Irish Washerwoman alongside the Fiddle Club, listened to a selection of lively tunes, and participated in a question and answer session with the high school musicians. The event was especially meaningful, as third grade is the year students begin exploring instrument choices. Seeing older students perform and speak about their experiences provided inspiration and a first-hand look at the exciting opportunities that lie ahead in the district’s music program.

On March 18, a group of ambitious high school entrepreneurs had the opportunity to participate in Innovation Day at the University at Buffalo. This event, designed to foster creativity and entrepreneurial thinking, brought together students, educators, and industry professionals for a day filled with collaboration, learning, and innovation.

Stakeholders and students from OPCSD, along with local community members, gathered with representatives from the New York State Comptroller's Office to discuss incorporating essential financial skills such as budgeting, saving, and investing into a Personal Finance graduation requirement. The OPHS Business Department is proud to lead this initiative, committed to preparing students for a lifetime of financial well-being. We are honored to be part of a statewide effort to make financial literacy a priority for every graduate!

On November 5, students from SUNY Fredonia's opera production of Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte visited OPHS and performed for Maria Szezepanik's Choraliers students. The Fredonia students, along with their director Don Marrazzo, did a performance and then a little outreach program.
