Kaelie will be serving in NDI (Non-Destructive Inspection)—a vital role that helps ensure the safety and integrity of aircraft and equipment. She’s set to leave for basic training sometime after June 20th.
We’re so proud of you, Kaelie! Thank you for your commitment and service! 💙✈️

Today's snowfall was PERFECT for snowmen making! 🩵
This afternoon, the Oldham Ramona students embraced the winter wonderland! They bundled up, headed outside, and enjoyed some playful fun in the snow. It was a delightful, energetic day that left everyone smiling!

SSG Francil Ruml wrote to ORR and said:
I am proud to announce that on Saturday Easton Ruml enlisted into the South Dakota Army National Guard as a 12B (Combat Engineer). He will be able to serve out his contract in Madison at the 211th Engineer Company. He will leave for Basic Training this summer between his junior and senior year and then attend his Advanced Individual Training after he graduates. If you see him around please commend him on his decision to enlist. I want to thank faculty for allowing me to be apart of his processing, and I look forward to working with more Raiders here in the future!
🎉 Prime Time Fun in Ms. Hupers’ Class! 🎉
This last Wednesday, our 1st graders in Rutland had a blast during Prime with Ms. Hupers class! 🌟 Whether they were learning, playing, or creating, these curious little minds were hard at work and having fun at the same time! 🧠✨
We love seeing their excitement and energy as they explore new things together. Keep up the great work! 💪📚

Bringing you the next in our Teacher Feature line up...
We're excited to share some sneak peek photos of the initial design ideas for our new school! While there might be a few small changes based on our budget, our architect assures us that this design is very close to what we'll see.
I'm especially thrilled about the new entry design—it beautifully pays tribute to the three districts that now make up ORR. As we honor our shared legacy while planning for the future, this design truly sets the stage.
