Emir Ibrahimov, one of Orangefield's foreign exchange students, awarded Orangefield High School with the Distinguished Achievement in International Understanding from World Heritage Exchange Programs.

Last week HOSA-Future Health Professional students from OHS hosted the 3rd annual Teddy Bear Clinic at OES. First graders were able to bring stuffed animals to school for a well-visit checkup. Along with height and weight, and vision, blood pressure, and dental screenings, stuffies and their guardian were also able to visit Acadian Ambulance Service to address any minor bumps and bruises. HOSA students enjoyed the opportunity to teach and inspire the future generations of healthcare professionals! Thank you to OES , Acadian Ambulance, and Mrs. Van Huis for supporting this event.
