Above and Beyond TShirtsEach member who qualified to be a part of our group received an 'Above and Beyond' long sleeved hooded t-shirt the covered by the AODA program grant. This will allow members to be identified in the community as positive role models and to come together as a support for each other. We are so lucky to be supported by a grant from the state of Wisconsin to provide so many great aspects of this program to us!

November MeetingNovember's meeting was used to prepare for Hometown Heroes Night. Above and Beyond members spent the hour writing thank you notes to their hometown heroes and organizing and getting information for the hometown hero night. Students also had to fill out their bios that will be on display during hometown hero nights. Bios will include information about why the Above and Beyond members think its a good idea to stay drug and alcohol free, why its important to be a good role model, what activities they are involved in, who their hometown hero is and why, why they love living in Osseo-Fairchild, along with a picture. The bios are also used for the Above and Beyond student of the week information that is posted in the commons, on the website, in the high school health hallway and at the elementary school. The picture to the right is the Thunder Clap Student of the week wall. Check out the 2018-2019 Thunder Clap Students of the Week Here.

Students were to nominate and defend who they thought would be the best role model to represent each sport and activity. These students were featured on a poster after a photo shoot in October.

Hometown Hero NightsThe hometown hero night for 2018-2019 was scheduled for December 14th boys basketball game against Cadott. Hometown hero nights give the Above and Beyond members a chance to recognize adults in the community who have been a positive impact on them. Hometown heroes were recognized before the boys basketball game and Above and Beyond student bios were posted in the commons. Hometown hero night has become a special night of recognition for just a handful of the amazing adults that we have in our community. Click on the link below to see who was recognized.

High School ValentinesOur February meeting consisted of eating Exit 88 pizza. Thank you so much to all of the local businesses that have been helping us on the way. Exit 88 gave us a great pizza discount! During this meeting, our students were to create compliments and positive contributions comments for all of the students in the high school. These compliments were typed up onto a valentine and attached them to candy. These will be delivered to high school students on Valentine's day. We hope that this gesture helps ALL high school students feel like they contribute in a positive way to making our school a great place to be!
