Attention Parents and Guardians: With the severe weather warnings that we have just received, our students and staff have been moved to our building storm shelters. They are safe . Additional information will be posted and students will remain in shelter areas until the all clear is given.
Archery season is upon us! The archery program at Oswego has experienced great success since we began the program. It is that time of year where we begin practice for the upcoming season. Hopefully that practice will result in the continued success. The state has implemented something new this year. Effective immediately, all archers must have a Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) ID number in order to participate. We cannot enter archers in tournaments without this information. We encourage you to follow the link provided to create an ID for your archer. We will gladly assist you through this process if you need help. Just let us know. We will also have tables set up at Parent Teacher Conference at OJSHS, Service Valley and Neosho Heights. Please stop by and sign-up if you are planning on doing archery this year. We are extremely excited to get another year started. We look forward to seeing you at PTC. I am attaching a flyer with instructions where to go and how to create an ID.
Coming soon to OJSHS
November 14, 15, & 16

The Oswego Cross Country team traveled to Mound City for our 6th meet of the year on Thursday. This meet presented some very challenging terrain for our runners to navigate. The course started with a steep hill to run down. As luck would have it, a steep uphill climb followed that. This was the theme of the course. I felt like this might have been the toughest course we have run on this year. On the day, the top 10 to finish would be awarded a medal. The 7th grade boys and girls started off the day with their two mile race. Paris Clifton would be our first girl to cross the line with a season best and career best time. Her time was good enough for 4th place. Karma Cunningham would be our second girl to cross the line with a 9th place finish. Her time beat her season and career best time by one minute. Our final girl to finish in the 7th grade race was Maicee Wimp. Maicee finished in 22nd place. I thought all three of these girls ran extremely well. I felt like all three stepped up their game and competed at a different level Thursday. We had one runner compete in the boys 7th grade race. Ivan Wells ran a really good race and finished in the 20th position. We had 7 runners compete in the 8th grade girls and boys race. Chloe Rhodenbaugh would pace the Oswego girls with a 5th place finish and a season and career best time. Rayann Fales would finish in 7th place for our 8th grade girls. Our final 8th grade girl to finish was Andelyn Johnson. Andelyns time was good enough for 8th place. In the 8th grade boys division, Kaden Esposito would once again be our top runner. His time was good enough for 4th place. Kaden really worked hard and finally was able to get his time under 13:00 for the first time. His time was a career and season best. Kross Fuller was our second runner to cross the line with a 12th place finish. Matthias Shaw ran a season and career best race on Thursday. He improved his best time by over one minute on Thursday. His time was good enough for 13th place. Madden Kilcrease would also run a season and career best time and finish in 14th place. All of the 8th grade runners had an extremely productive day Thursday. Both of the 8th grade races started really fast. Each and every one of our runners started at the front of the pack. They all really laid it on the line at the beginning. Allysen McCready would be our only high school runner competing on Thursday. Allysen ran a 3.1 mile race. Allysen really competed hard and finished her race in 16th place. Was proud of her and the resilience she showed on Thursday. It was an exceptional day for our runners. The course was tremendously challenging. I felt like if we could get close to our best time it would be a very productive day. We had six run season and career best times. They all attacked the course with a big amount of resolve. This group continues to impress and amaze me with their competitive spirit and willingness to respond when they are pushed to go harder. That is what I really love about coaching this team. That and the way they support and cheer each other at the meets and practice. Was an awesome day for the Indian Cross Country team. Would like to thank all the parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters that came out to support our team Thursday. I really enjoy seeing all their support and want to express my appreciation for what they do for the team. Our next meet will be next Thursday, October 17th. This is our league meet. For some of our runners this will be their last meet of the year. Come out and watch these runners compete at the Weir Baptist Camp in Wear on Thursday. I guarantee you will leave impressed with our team.
Congratulations to Kaden Esposito, Karma Cunningham, Rayann Fales, Paris Clifton, Chloe Rhodenbaugh and Andelyn Johnson for earning a medal at our cross country meet in Mound City of Thursday. Kaden, Karma, Paris, Chloe, Madden Kilcrease and Matthias Shaw also established career best and season best times. Kaden and Paris also established new middle school records with their times.
