This week’s student of the week is Kailey Bawcombe.  Kailey was nominated by Ms. Malagari because Kailey worked diligently to organize, communicate and plan the Student Faculty basketball game. She played an active role in each step of this process. From meeting with Administration to selling tickets at lunch each day. Kailey’s passion for this cause is evident in the amount of time she has given to ensure this event is a success. Thank you for sharing your passion with the students and staff here at OHS!  As this week’s student of the week, Kailey will receive a coupon for one free admission to an Oakdale High School event. Way to go Kailey!
