OCHS is offering self-paced summer school credit recovery for students that need to make-up credits. It will be 4 days a week from June 17 until July 10. The a.m. session is 8:30-11:30, and the p.m. session is 12:00 to 3:00. Please register on the OCHS website @ ochspioneers.org.

All library and textbooks are due by Wednesday, the last day of school. Any books not returned by Wednesday will be marked as lost and fines for their replacement will be mailed home this summer. If you'd like to check library books out over the summer, please bring them to library staff.

LGBTQ Month:

Ifti Nasim was a gay Pakistani poet who moved to the United States to avoid persecution for his sexuality. His collection of poems, Narman, is thought to be the first gay-themed book of poetry written and published in Urdu. He also founded SANGAT/Chicago, an organization which supported the South Asian LGBTQ community. Nasim was honored in 1996 by being inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame.

Have a great day PIOS!
