WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again the archers from Oxford Central School have prevailed as the New Jersey National Archery in the Schools (NASP) Champions. In a program that is growing each year in New Jersey, the OCS archers prove to be the best team in the state. Through dedication and hard work, the archers participated in the state tournament by hosting a virtual shoot on March 18, 2010. The team shot a 3129, the highest total posted by a school in the history of the state tournament. Now the hard work begins as the team prepares to represent the state of New Jersey at the National Tournament in Louisville, Kentucky. The National Tournament will take place May 6th-8th with approximately 6,000 archers participating in the tournament.

Both the female and male state champions are members of the Oxford Central Archery Team. Kayla Gallo and Danny Farkas are the individual state champions and will each receive a new bow for competition from the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Congratulations to all the team members, we look forward to representing the state at the national level and are confident we will REPRESENT!!!!!!!!

Daisy Olympics at OCS

Congratulations to the Oxford Daisy troop for a successful participation in the Daisy Olympics held March 4, 2010 at Oxford Central School. The girls were working for their "strong" pedal. The afternoon combined a slalom obstacle course, a two person bobsled, and our own version of curling. The girls did an outstanding job and demonstrated remarkable sportsmanship cheering and encouraging each other during all events. Mrs. Hart and I could not be more proud of the effort demonstrated by the Daisies. We are hoping this is the beginning of new annual event for our school, I do not think we can wait 4 years like the other Olympics do. Thanks to all the troop leaders for their support!
