Orcas Christian School is buzzing with sports opportunities and team building activities.

So far this year, the high school took a trip to the Puyallup Fair to come together as a student body after the months away during the summer.

Grades one through eight camped out at Moran State Park’s Cascade Lake. Some of the particiating kids are pictured at far right. Students enjoyed outdoor education classes, games, and a whole-school family potluck. They also spent an afternoon in outdoor education at YMCA Camp Orkila.

OCS athletics is entering its first year in WIAA, and has opened the season with volleyball. Keep your eyes open in the Sounder sports section for updates and game re-caps.

High school electives this semester are culinary arts, personal finance and beginning theater.

OCS will be offering PSAT, SAT, and ACT tests this year. Contact the OCS office at 376-6683 if you would like information about registration for these tests.

K-8 students will take a boat trip to Matia Island on Oct. 2 (weather dependent.)

Grades three through 12 will also have ITBS testing during the week of Oct. 6-10. Students will be provided with breakfast on each of the testing days to start their day right.  OCS is also looking for community members who have a generous heart and busy hands to volunteer with the hot lunch program on Wednesdays.
