Olympia High School

Independence in action! The Olympia Transition Program just wrapped up an amazing final two weeks of ESY. Our students took charge of meal prep from start to finish: 📝 Choosing a recipe & researching ingredients 🛒 Budgeting and shopping at the grocery store 👩‍🍳 Prepping and making the snacks this week! Practice makes perfect, and these students are mastering their community and independent living skills. So proud of their hard work! 🎉

Congratulations to Ethan Barnes and Mason Kruger who both competed in the Midwest Golf Showcase hosted at Winding Ridge Golf Club in Indianapolis this past Tuesday. This Showcase takes some of the best golfers from Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan and has them compete in a competitive 18 holes match with a chance to make the cut and play a second 18 on Day 2. Ethan was 1 stroke off of making the cut shooting a 79 (+7) and Mason Kruger shot an 85 (+13). Both boys played really well and this upcoming season should be very exciting. Go Spartans!

There’s something special about seeing our gym filled with the next generation of Spartans. Over the past two days, our Little Spartans Volleyball Camp brought together young athletes eager to learn, grow, and have fun. From learning new skills to making new friends, the energy and excitement in the gym was contagious. A special thank you goes to our high school players who volunteered their time to lead, encourage, and invest in these young campers. The relationships built between our current players and future Spartans are what make our volleyball program and community so special. We are grateful for the families who entrusted us with their athletes this week and for everyone who helped make camp a success. The future of Spartan Volleyball is bright, and we can't wait to watch these young athletes continue to grow.

Day 1 of HS Cross Country Camp was a success. This group traveled to Farmdale Reservoir for a 4.5 mile trail run. The weather and scenery were perfect!

The Olympia Transition Program took a community-based outing to Heart & Flour Bakery in Lincoln today.🧁 We loved supporting a local business that aligns so closely with our mission. Heart & Flour provides a wonderful space where individuals with disabilities and autism can gain independence, build community, and experience the joy of meaningful work. After enjoying some delicious treats, we ended our morning with a fantastic presentation from our very own McKale! She shared all about her recent trip to Alaska, and we loved learning so many new things from her. 🏔️✈️

The Olympia Transition Program just wrapped up our first successful week of Extended School Year with an amazing day out. We headed over to Funks Grove to explore the beautiful nature trails and enjoy the great outdoors. Afterward, we stopped by McDonald’s for a refreshing treat and a chance to practice our real-world communication skills! These community experiences are exactly how our students learn, grow, and build independence. 🌿🌳☀️💙

We had another successful year of girls basketball camp! Thank you to all the campers for working so hard, the future looks bright! And special thanks to our high school players for all of their help this week.
