Oiler Express Cafe - Watch Out Starbucks!
The Oiler Express Cafe is in business! Students from the Life Skills and Work Study classes sell tea, Ronnocco coffee, iced tea, Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, and cappuccino from the ground floor of the Main Building to other students and staff members. Earlier this school year, Mrs. Neely Kinkel - teacher and organizer of the venture - won an award of $2,000 from Vantage Credit Union, which was spurred by a wonderful video featuring students and Mrs. Kinkel and Mr. Daniels (The link takes you to the YouTube site). The venture has also received other donations from outside the school district, plus renovation and maintenance assistance from Mr. Foxall and the custodians, Below are a couple of candids is a panoramic candid from the "Oiler Express Cafe.'

Principal Appreciation Day is a national and state wide recognition of all school principals and assistant principals for the tough jobs they do in leading their schools. Each received a couple of tokens of the District's appreciation as well as great caricatures drawn by Art Teacher, Mr. Charlie James. A large banner - made by students in Mr. James' classes was also displayed. Mr. Mattix-Wand provided music. Doughnuts were served to the many students and staff in attendance.    A big thanks to Mrs. Carla Guthrie for all of her efforts in organizing this recognition and to Ms. Fry, Cafeteria Director for assisting her in the set-up.
