Four students in Mrs. Bellard's Business Communication and Technology class earned their Microsoft Office Specialist PowerPoint Associate certification today. Congratulations to Jocelyn Droddy, Andrew Blackwell, Ty Barber, and David Morgan.

OHS students in the Child Development and Patient Care Technician courses traveled to LSCO for some hands-on learning. Students were able to participate in the simulation of a delivery and infant care after birth, as well as pediatric and adult simulation scenarios. The students greatly enjoyed the opportunity to put some of their classroom learning to the test. Thank you to the LSCO Nursing Department for welcoming us and investing in our students!

On Monday, December 8, several members of Orangefield's Uprising Club spent the day sorting toys to help the Bridge City/Orangefield Ministerial Alliance. The students enjoy participating in this activity every year during Toy Week. It is a great opportunity for them to serve in their community.

The Bridge City-Orangefield Ministerial Alliance is a non-profit, faith-based organization that has been serving our local communities since 1998. It is a collaboration of 17 local churches. They are funded by the support of these member churches, amazing school & community support, & by grants. Each Christmas Season, the Ministerial Alliance provides clothing and shoes for children 0-12th Grade, and toys for Newborn - 5th Grade. Occasionally, they will also have items on-hand that will be gifted if a family experiences an emergency. The toys and gifts are received from member churches, Christmas in July through those churches, float entry “fees” from the Bridge City Christmas Parade, the Orangefield Secret Santa Program, local businesses, various community organizations and individuals, and fundraisers held throughout the year. Shoes for the high school-aged children are generally provided by the Ministerial Alliance, or donors on their behalf. Clothing (for all ages) and shoes for the younger children (0-5th Grade) are provided by the churches/church members who participate in their annual Angel Tree Program. The Ministerial Alliance credits the success of this program to the amazing support & hard work that they receive from the generous support listed above, their toy chairmen and their teams, and the involvement from our local churches and schools. Toy Week simply would not be possible without all of these working parts.

Community Spotlight: JT Prejean Inspires the Next Generation

This past Saturday, local community leader Mr. JT Prejean devoted his time and expertise to the welding students at Orangefield High School. Students had the unique opportunity to learn new skills on the TIG welder, gaining hands-on experience from a true professional.

Mr. Prejean’s dedication not only strengthens the students’ technical abilities but also inspires them to pursue excellence in their craft. Thank you, Mr. Prejean, for investing in our future leaders.

Congratulations Kaleb!

Orangefield High School FCCLA teamed up with Interact for a joint community service project. They spent the first Thursday of December volunteering. They started the morning at the annual Granger Food Drive, loading and unloading cans to stock the pantries at The Salvation Army and Orange Christian Services. After spending the morning at Granger Chevrolet, they moved over to The Salvation Army and unloaded and sorted all of the donations. From there they went on into LCM to donate the new, unwrapped toys they had collected for the 69th Annual Orange Service League Toy Coffee. Thank you to all that assisted and donated!

Orangefield High School students had an exciting and eye-opening experience at the Junior Achievement Finance Park program. This interactive, real world financial education initiative helps high school students build essential money management skills through both classroom learning and a hands-on budgeting simulation.

During the simulation, students were assigned a career, income level, family scenario, and monthly expenses. They were then challenged to create and balance a realistic budget while making real life financial decisions related to housing, transportation, groceries, education, childcare, healthcare, and savings. Students navigated various stages of life, from their teenage years through young adulthood, working adulthood, and nearing retirement. Many quickly discovered how easy it is to underestimate expenses and how fast a paycheck can be spent.

The Orangefield High School Senior students would like to thank Mrs. Jennifer Womack from Junior Achievement for sponsoring Finance Park and to the local businesses that supported our students throughout this valuable learning experience: Stellar Bank, Capital One Bank, and Entergy. Your partnership helps prepare us for a successful financial future.

Congratulations Mason!🧡🏈
