All the middle school clubs do different things, and they happen in different rooms at different times. Some clubs happen after school and some happen during lunch, and they all do it for different reasons. Some are for you to have fun and hang out with people, while others can be for you to talk with people about how you feel.
There are clubs for high school, middle school, or both—and while these represent most of the clubs on campus, there might be a few more since OSA students love creating new clubs. -Daria Oxley

As a new teacher switching grades he has also followed the  experiences as the new middle school student who also just moved up from elementary school. --Vanessa Hernandez

MoNey McDaniel, a student in Visual Art, and Isla Sofya, a student in Theatre, are the new OSA 6th grade Representatives, elected after giving convincing speeches at Sweets Ballroom on August 31st.
