During a recent government meeting, community and school updates highlighted various initiatives and events taking place in Oshkosh. Community 1 is currently engaged in a project researching local figures associated with location names, with a presentation scheduled for October 1st at Menominee. Additionally, Community 2 is preparing for its annual service project in remembrance of 9/11, collaborating with co-founders of 911day.org and planning to host mock elections in schools.
The Oshkosh North FFA recently attended a state convention in Madison and participated in a local food stand event. Homecoming festivities are set to kick off next week, with preparations already underway. This year's homecoming football game will be held at Oshkosh North High School, featuring a new parade route that has been communicated to local residents.
The student council is organizing a homecoming kickoff event, which will include games and fundraising opportunities for various clubs. In sports, the football team has had a promising start with four wins and two losses, while the boys' soccer team has achieved three wins, two ties, and two losses. The volleyball team has recorded one win in its two games.
Recent events included educational trips to Greece, Italy, and England, as well as a successful blood drive that collected 47 pints of blood from approximately 80 student donors. Looking ahead, homecoming week is scheduled for October 7th to 12th, culminating in a themed dance titled \"Greek Gardens.\" The Wisconsin Association of School Councils (WASC) state conference will also be hosted in Oshkosh in April, expected to attract over 4,000 attendees. Fundraising efforts by the student council will support the costs associated with this significant event.
