Owego Free Academy students and staff collaborate on a Southern Tier-themed mural for GHS Federal Credit Union with students and staff from Chenango Valley and Oxford. The completed mural officially debuted at the GHS Federal Credit Union’s Front Street, Binghamton branch at a ceremony on June 24th. One school from each of the three counties, Tioga, Broome, and Chenango, served by GHS created a unified relief mural depicting aspects that visually represent their county. The OFA tech department helped cut out the counties to scale and art students from each school designed and created the wooden relief symbols seen in their corresponding county. The OFA art department stained the counties, Chenango Valley art students painted in the rivers/streams and the entire piece was installed by CV art teacher, Matthew Wilson. Anna Hodges and Kayla Newman were the two OFA art students who designed and painted the Tioga County symbols that Adam Williams cut with OFA art teacher Jolene Williams. Incredible work by everyone involved in the project! #OFARiverHawks #sOArTogether

On Saturday, June 8th, the OAMS Band and Chorus competed in the Music in the Parks Festival in Bethlehem, PA. Each group performed 2 selections and received high ratings and comments from the judges.
Band took 3rd place in their division
Chorus took 1st place and received an award for highest overall score
Our students were also collectively awarded the very prestigious Esprit de Corps Award, which is only given to one group at the festival, regardless of level/age. According to the Music in the Parks Festival, "The Esprit de Corps Award recognizes the participating organization that displays an exemplary attitude of positive support and outstanding personal behavior throughout the festival weekend. Personal integrity, quality character values, a desire for excellence, and a spirit of cooperation serve as the cornerstone qualities of the Esprit de Corps Award."
Both groups had outstanding performances and the students should be applauded for their hard work, and dedication, and for representing the Owego Apalachin Central School District so well!
