OCCS News and Announcements

Spiritual Theme: Amazing Race

Theme Song: By Faith

Theme Verse: 1 Corinthians 9:24 & 25 "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever."

School Pictures:

School picture days are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, September 13 and 14. Please return one envelope and payment per child on or before picture day. The order forms are the same as last year. Please read them over carefully and note that "Package C" DOES NOT include a class composite.


Picture Day schedule:

Wednesday: Prek, 1, 3, 5, 6

Thursday: K, 2, 4, 7, 8


For children with glasses:

If you have concerns about glass glare, please note that we will try our hardest to minimize glass glare to the best of our ability but the only way to completely avoid glass glare is to remove lenses from your child's frames.


If you have any questions you can contact: Alysa Reitsma, at 712-441-7335.

Kickoff Chapel:

OCCS will be holding the “Amazing Race” kickoff chapel on Thursday September 21 from 11:45-3:20 pm. The chapel committee is looking for parents, grandparents, or other supporters who would be willing to be part of a “cloud of witnesses” to cheer on the students as they run their race. The time commitment would be from 1:45-3:15pm. If you are willing to help in this way or have questions, please email roordt@occhristian.pvt.k12.ia.us or call Rachelle Oordt at 712-441-1085. Thank you for supporting us in the race of faith!


Note: The OCCS & TRIP office will be closed from 11:00am-3:20pm. All children will be required to take a sack lunch on September 21 - here's a copy of the updated menu.
