STUDENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Tulip Festival OCCS tent - Students, do you want to earn some extra money during Tulip Festival (May 14-16)? You may sign up to have your name listed to work for hire and earn $50.00 a shift (typically 3.5-4 hours). If you are interested, please text your name, age, and phone number to Jenn Platter 701-240-8248 by March 27. This list of workers will be distributed to families of OCCS at the beginning of April; they will then contact you directly.
Please note: students ages 14 to 18 years old may only work certain jobs in the tent. The OCCS families will be aware of what jobs those are. Also take note when you are contacted for a shift that you MAY NOT be hired for Thursday or Friday morning shifts due to still having school.
If you have any questions, please call Jenn. Thank you!
Men’s Bible Study: Join us on Friday mornings from 7:30 - 8:20 AM in Mr. Mouw’s room for a 6 week men’s Bible study. Males from all grades are welcome! Come grow in faith, build community, and have real conversations about 1st Peter! Reach out to Brayden Schollerman if you would like to join or if you have any questions.
