Tonight, our varsity team faced a very talented Bloomington Central Catholic squad in the second round of regionals. While the outcome wasn’t in our favor, we’re incredibly proud of this team and all they’ve achieved this season.
A special thank you to our three seniors for everything you’ve given to the Olympia Volleyball program. Your leadership and commitment have made a lasting impact, and we wish you nothing but success in your future endeavors. The future is bright for Olympia Volleyball!
We would like to remind our families that we have a District non-profit, the Spartan Promise Council, that exists to remove barriers for students. This non-profit is funded by individual community members and generous church donations. If your Olympia child needs food, clothing, or some other type of assistance, please reach out to our Student Support Specialist, Cari Roop (cari.roop@olympia.org). While there are food pantries in our communities, we also have a Spartan Market on the OHMS campus. The QR code on the flyer allows you to make a request. We hope that these services can help support our students during these challenging times.
🫀The Olympia Transition Program has been diving into a science unit all about basic body systems, and today we put our knowledge of the circulatory system to the test!
Students learned how to take their heart rate and explored what causes it to change. They made predictions and then tested them through fun one-minute activities like jogging in place, jumping jacks, and even resting on the floor.
After comparing our results, we discovered that moving your body through physical activity keeps your heart healthy and strong! ❤️💪

🥛🐄 The Olympia Transition Program is excited to participate in the Adopt a Cow program this year! We’ve “adopted” a sweet calf named Ivy, who lives on Burning Acres Dairy Farm in East Dubuque, Illinois.
Each month, we’ll receive updates, photos, and videos about Ivy as she grows and learns life on the farm. Through this program, our students will explore how Ivy is cared for, how dairy farms operate, and how milk is produced, from the farm to our tables!
We can’t wait to follow Ivy’s journey and learn more about the world of dairy farming! 🐮🤠
The Lady Spartans hit the road to Delavan tonight for a non-conference matchup, and our varsity girls came ready to play — showing grit, energy, and never backing off!
