POMS meeting October 5th.
5:30 PM at Oswego Jr/Sr High
It is with regret that we announce that Yates Center has cancelled Friday night's varsity football game due to an insufficient number of players.
For the remainder of this fall, the activity bus on Fridays will leave OJSHS at 5:00 instead of 6:00. This is for the fall only.
OJSHS Cheerleading Squads recently attended the KSHSAA UCA sponsored Spirit Spreader Clinic at Chanute High School on September 7. Both squads were taught new sideline cheers, chants, and stunting techniques that they will be incorporating in their upcoming game day routines. Cheerleaders also experienced team building activities amongst their squads to grow in working together and communicating together, all while having fun.
One of the highlights of the clinic experience was the stunting techniques for both the high school and junior high squads. They are excited to progress snd perfect these techniques and incorporating these stunts in their spirit and game day activities as well.
The students were among many area junior high and high school cheerleading squads, with over 150 students in attendance. Spirit Spreader clinics are a small sampling of what students can experience at cheer camp. UCA provides the best educational training for cheerleaders with the goal of incorporating high-level skills with traditional crowd leading. Both the junior high and the high school cheerleaders are anticipating attending the next UCA cheer camp offered in July 2023.

On Thursday, September 8th, the JH Football team will be conducting a Red/White Scrimmage in lieu of their game against Chetopa which had to be cancelled due to low numbers. The scrimmage will start at 6:00.
There will be no admission charge and the concession stand will be open for business. The scrimmage will be officiated and run as much like a normal game as possible. Come support our JH football players as they begin their 2022 season.

We have just been notified by authorities that the suspect is in custody and we all clear. All practices and activities can continue as scheduled.
OJSHS is currently on a lockdown, as is much of Oswego. With 3:30 practices scheduled for volleyball and football, we are advising those involved to NOT come to the school.
For those who utilize the activity bus, there is a change in the schedule this year. This fall, the activity bus will leave OJSHS at 6:00 arriving at the Parsons drop off at approximately 6:30. After everyone is picked up, the bus will next drop off at Service Valley and then McCune. Note that the bus cannot leave Parsons until all students are picked up. The same applies at the Service Valley stop. Please make sure someone is at the drop off location at the appropriate times to pick up their athletes. Thank You.
Baeli Cole, Joleen Collins and Alex Figura, all 2022-2023 Oswego High School Cheerleaders, along with Coach Reynolds recently attended a 4 day Varsity Spirit Summer Camp at Coffeyville Community College this past week.
Cheer Camp is a fundamental first step to a successful season. It’s a time for athletes to establish trust, comradery and commitment to one another. Foundations are built, goals are set, skills are mastered, and memories are made – all alongside the UCA Staff.
Our OHS cheerleaders performed against squads much larger than theirs, however they persevered and improved each day at camp. Their hard work and dedication paid off as they received 2 ribbons and two trophies. Our first trophy received was for most improved and the other was for our other trophy was for second place for Outstanding Cheer and Sideline from the UCA Cheer Camp Competitions.
OHS cheerleaders are proud to be the spirit of our schools and are looking forward to an exciting upcoming school year!
