Bobcat Families,
We have had several questions about our Fall Festival tonight and wanted to communicate with everyone. For our Fall Festival tonight, we will not be doing our trunk or treat, however if your child wants to wear their school appropriate Halloween costume they may absolutely wear them! We just ask that no mask be worn, no props be brought in, and no faces are painted. Also there will be games all over the back parking lot. Please bring a bag to hold all the candy that the students will wil and you will enter through the front doors of the school.
We look forward to seeing you tonight at 5:00!!
Thank you!!

Bobcat Families,
OPD would like to invite our Bobcat families to Cops & Bobbers! A community policing initiative that builds positive relationships between local law enforcement and children in our community. This fun, educational event gives children the chance to spend time outdoors with local officers while learning the fundamentals of fishing. While the event is geared toward children, families are welcome and encouraged to participate together! Cops & Bobbers is all about creating a positive, informal environment where children, adults, families, and officers can interact, ask questions, and get to know one another while developing a better understanding of the role law enforcement plays in our community — and hopefully catching some fish along the way!
Frank Miller and Son Sporting Goods will be providing bait, and KDFWR will be on-site with fishing poles available to borrow. OPD will provide grilled hot dogs and chips at no cost to attendees, while supplies last. Exemptions for fishing license during the event only.
Bring the family, enjoy some time outdoors, meet our officers, and cast a line with us at Cops & Bobbers! October 6th, 5-7 PM
