Osceola School District #1

Big weekend for Seminole basketball! The Lady Seminoles competed in the Helena Holiday Classic and earned a dominant 54–9 win over Helena. The senior high boys also brought home a victory at the Bank OZK John Stanton Classic, defeating the E Stem Mets 62–52.

Great job to both teams—way to represent Seminole pride!

Here's the schedule for basketball games happening over Christmas break.

Osceola FFA members recently traveled to the Farm Bureau state convention's leadership day where they networked, participated in activities to build and develop their leadership skills, as well as met with farm Bureau, and industry leaders.

Holiday fun with the OMS team! Staff enjoyed gift exchanges, games, and even an impromptu photoshoot at their Christmas party. It was a great way to celebrate the season and each other.

Holiday cheer filled OHS today as staff and teachers gathered for a Christmas celebration. The highlight of the day was gifting each team member a custom jacket, a small token of appreciation and a big symbol of Seminole pride. We are grateful for our OHS family and the commitment they show to our students and school community every day.

The kindergarten students at North Elementary put on a wonderful Christmas program filled with smiles, songs, and holiday cheer. We are so proud of our kindergartners and thankful to the teachers and staff who helped make this special program possible.
