Last night, the Ojika educational staff all got together for a short volleyball tournament. There were 3 teams: elementary staff, junior high staff, and high school/board of education staff.
The high school team lost both games. We took 3rd place. The elementary team won 1 game and took 2nd place. The junior high team won 3 games and took 1st place.
The teachers enjoyed getting together for some fun at a busy time of year!!
