We had fun visiting the animal farm, hayrides, picking pumpkins and the students had fun finding their way out of the haystack maze. Buster the Bus! It was wonderful to see this cute Buster the Bus.

Students learned how to show respect, to be responsible and safe on the bust at all time! Buster is the best instructor for the students! Thanks Buster you are the best!

Donations gladly accepted. Athletics Middle School Soccer Students talks to Deaf Expo visitors about OSD and Nightmare Factory One student we brought was reminiscing himself about how two years ago he and his mother had come to Deaf Expo to meet other Deaf people, saw our booth and asked some questions, and shortly after transferred to OSD as a student! He fondly remembers Deaf Expo in this way. Several thousand people were there what an amazing event to witness. There were lectures form Joel Barrish, who produces No Barriers, and Mark Hammill, a Deaf athlete with an autobiographical movie lots of fun! We were proud to promote our annual event, meet with old friends and make new ones!

I want to give a shout out to the athletes on the team for a GREAT, fun-filled season! I also want to recognize and thank our 8th graders for leading the team - they won't be returning next year, being in high school by then. For the returners, we look forward to another great season.
