It’s Idle Free Week at Oak Ridge High School. Idling in vehicle terms is where you sit in a car as it is not moving, and you leave the vehicle running.  The main reason for people paying so much for gas is because of idling and it also pollutes the air! So…save the air and your money and stop idling.

Oak Ridge High School has a brand-new student exchange next spring, organized by “The Friendship Connection, Inc.”. You will host a German student in your home for three weeks in the spring and you will live with that student in Germany in the summer.  If you’ve had 2 semesters of German and are taking German 3 in the spring or already had at least three semesters of German in the past, you can sign-up for this opportunity – even if you’ve already done the GAPP exchange.  Sign-up before October 31^st.  For more information, please come to Mrs. Nebenfuehr’s room CS301 or email smnebenfuehr@ortn.edu.
