Keeping Bobcats Informed, Nov 2, 2022
Bobcat Parents & Families,
This exciting week at OHIO is really a call to action for our entire Bobcat community, which includes you.
This week we are still participating in Operation Thank a Vet, which continues through Veterans Day on Nov. 11. You can write a letter to all veterans and active military members of our OHIO community and share your support by donating to the Student Veterans and Military Services Student Scholarship fund.
Be well,
Kathy
Kathy A Fahl, MSW
Dean of Students
P.S. We hope to see many of you at Dads Weekend, which starts this Friday!
