The Oregon wrestling team made history by clinching the Tri State championship for the first time, setting a record for the most points ever scored in the competition. AJ, a standout wrestler in the middleweight division, was honored as an outstanding wrestler, highlighting the team's exceptional performance against some of the best competitors in the region. Coach Colvin, known for his appreciation of traditional wrestling styles, received a tribute in the form of a Macho Band, symbolizing the team's dedication and spirit.

In addition to wrestling accolades, the district is actively engaging students in food choices through a unique pizza tasting initiative. Students sampled various pizza options and provided feedback, which will be submitted to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) for consideration in next year's lunch program. This initiative not only encourages student involvement but also aims to enhance the quality of school meals.

The cheerleading squad also shone brightly, with three members selected as All Americans. Notably, Bella Rosemarva participated in the Pearl Harbor Memorial Day Parade in Hawaii, while Bella Asla showcased her skills at Disney World during the Varsity Spirit Spectacular. The Oregon High School cheer team is set to perform at the Citrus Bowl halftime celebration on New Year's Eve, further demonstrating the district's commitment to celebrating student achievements.

As the community rallies around its students, Principal Friess is considering a rematch challenge from Isaac Jones, who humorously recalls his previous encounter at a much shorter height. The excitement surrounding this potential event reflects the strong community spirit and support for student activities.

Looking ahead, the district is also preparing to showcase its talented band and choir at the Wazda conference in Seattle, with hopes of being selected to perform. The recent performances have garnered praise, with many noting the impressive quality of the middle school music programs.

In an effort to promote healthy lifestyles, the district is encouraging families to engage in outdoor activities, supported by a campaign that includes distributing stickers and creating promotional videos. This initiative aims to foster healthy habits among students and staff alike, reinforcing the district's commitment to overall well-being.
