Our seniors in Career Prep have been exploring the world of manufacturing in Putnam county! We kicked off our unit by having Mrs. Michelle Schroeder come and speak to us about the world of HR, and how to put yourself out there online and in person to get the job you want. We explored the Build Putnam website and with the help of Karl Schimmoeller were able to bring in some amazing local businesses to speak to our students. Kim Schroeder was able to come in and speak to us about the Workforce Partnership of Putnam County, Mindi Rue joined us from Endera, Chris Ripke from Mars Petcare, Carleigh Ankerman from BK Tool, Melanie Roethlisberger from PPI, and Jeff Rains and Kristin Gudakunst from Whirlpool. It was an amazing opportunity for our students to see the growth potential for them right here in our own backyard. I wanted to give a tremendous THANK YOU to Karl and all of the speakers for giving up your time to come and speak to our students about the possibilities that await them in Putnam County!
A huge congratulations to Emily Hess, an Ottawa Glandorf & Millstream Culinary Senior, as she competes at the Skills USA Baking & Pastry State Competition. She has been prepping for weeks! We are proud of you Emily!
Thank you to the OGHS National Honor Society for purchasing enough solar eclipse glasses so everyone in the high school can have a pair for the big event on Monday, April 8th. Mrs. Elaine Hoehn's Biomedical Sciences class has made a video discussing what the solar eclipse is, myths, and health problems that can arise if you do not take safety precautions. We hope you learn something about the solar eclipse in this video and use special glasses to view the total solar eclipse on Monday! (Thank you to senior Nick Ellerbrock for editing the video.)

Dear parents and students:
As of 9:00 p.m. this evening, parts of the following roads in our school district have been reported as underwater to various degrees:
Road I-9
I-14 east and west of 13-I
County Road 15
Road H-13 east and west of Road 14
South Walnut Street south of the river
Second Street west of St. Rt. 65
Maple Street south of 224
Attention families who live near these areas where roads are underwater:
• District bus drivers will do their best to pick-up students on their route for school
tomorrow morning. Please note that drivers will proceed with an abundance of caution, so please have a back-up plan in place to transport your child(ren) to school in the event that the bus driver cannot make it to your house.
Attention student drivers:
• Do NOT attempt to drive through any roads that are submerged in water, no matter
how deep you believe the water to be. Give yourself plenty of time to take an
alternative route to school if needed.
Road conditions will likely change over the course of the next few hours and days, depending on the amount of rain we receive and the predicted crest times of area rivers and creeks. We will keep you updated with any changes to school operations as soon as possible.
All games/meets/matches scheduled for tonight have been cancelled. 4/2/24
