We may not have gotten the win tonight, but Tiger Nation showed up BIG! 💙🐯

What a great turnout and some amazing performances at our annual Night Game!

Even better, PRT and OTMS came together to raise $2,300 for Alison’s Allies and Breast Cancer Awareness! 🎀

So proud of our students, staff, families, and community for making tonight about so much more than a game. This is what Tiger Nation is all about! 💙💗

What a GREAT couple of days at OT! 🐯💙

🎭 Falling Into Comedy was a huge success on both nights! Our Theater 1 & 2 classes and 6th Grade Theater students showed off their talents with student-led and student-performed productions. So proud of all the hard work, creativity, and confidence they put on display!

🏐 On National Coaches Day, a HUGE thank you to all of our amazing OT coaches who pour so much time, energy, and heart into our students. We appreciate you! 💙

And a big congratulations to both our 7th and 8th Grade Volleyball teams for taking 2nd place in the City Tournament! 🏐👏

Tomorrow brings MathCounts competition and our annual 8th Grade Night Game! 🎉🏈

So much happening at OT—and so much to celebrate!
