Hispanic Heritage Month Student Spotlight

Meet Anthony Gonzalez-Oliva, a 9th grader at Osceola High School.

Anthony moved from Cuba to Osceola in 2023. When he first arrived, he spoke no English—but through hard work and determination, he is now fluent! His favorite food is rice with pork, and what he loves most about being Hispanic is having the gift of knowing two languages.

We are so proud of Anthony and celebrate the incredible contributions he and other Hispanic students bring to our district every day.

North/ Kindergarten ELA 📚✨ This afternoon in Mrs. Razor’s Kindergarten class, we wrapped up Unit 1 on Nursery Rhymes with Jack and Jill! 🪣👧👦 Students colored the main characters and events, placed them in sequential order, glued them down, and proudly recited the rhyme together. What a fun way to learn sequencing and celebrate our hard work! 🌟💛💜#webleedpurpleandgold

North/ PreK 👏 We are so proud of our PreK students in Ms. Harris and Mrs. Kim's class! They have been working hard on learning the sounds of letters, and many have reached proficiency on our scale of 6 sounds. 🌟📚 This is such an important step in becoming strong readers and writers. Keep up the great work, PreK! #webleedpurpleandgold

💜💛 Osceola School Family & Community — A Note About Our Events 💛💜

At Osceola, we take pride in creating a safe, welcoming, and spirited environment for our students, families, and community. As we cheer on our young people together, we ask for your partnership in helping us keep that environment strong.

Here are a few ways we can all support one another at extracurricular events:

🎒Clear Bags for Safety
To help us keep everyone secure, please remember our clear bag policy for all who enter.

👨‍👩‍👧 Students & Families Together
Students in grades PreK–5 should stay with their parent/guardian at all times, even when heading to restrooms or concession stands.

Students in grades 6 and up may attend without a parent present, but we encourage families to have conversations beforehand about what positive, respectful behavior looks like.

Guests who are not Osceola students and under 18 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian age 21 or older.

🎓 Student IDs
We also ask that our high school students wear their school IDs while at events.

📣 Cheering with Pride
We love passionate support for our athletes! At the same time, let’s model sportsmanship by keeping our words encouraging and respectful. If negative or inappropriate language is used, we may need to step in to keep the environment positive for all.

Together, we’re not just fans — we’re a family. When we follow these practices, we show that “rowing as one” isn’t just something we say, it’s something we live. Thank you for helping us make Osceola events safe, supportive, and enjoyable for everyone!

💜 Go Seminoles! 💛

North/ Balance Bikes 🚴‍♂️☀️ Our kindergarten students had the best time riding balance bikes during PE with Coach Allen today! It was such a beautiful morning to be outside, and the smiles on their faces said it all. 🌟 Great job, little riders! 💛 #KindergartenAdventures #HealthyHabits #FunInPE #webleedpurpleandgold

Our Osceola High School students had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Career Showcase Day hosted by the Osceola/SMC Chamber at the ANC Wilson Campus.

This event connected our 9th–12th grade students with a wide range of career pathways, military representatives, and educational institutions, giving them the chance to ask questions, explore possibilities, and envision their futures.

We are proud of how engaged and curious our students were! They took full advantage of this unique opportunity to meet professionals, discover new interests, and start shaping their post-graduation goals.

A huge thank you to the Osceola/SMC Chamber and ANC Wilson Campus for organizing such a meaningful experience for our community’s young leaders. Partnerships like these ensure that our students are not only prepared for graduation but also for lifelong success.
