The Oregon City School District is gearing up for a grand celebration of its 150th anniversary by recognizing 150 outstanding community members who have made significant contributions to the district. During the recent regular session meeting, officials announced an exciting initiative that will distribute special "golden tickets" to these individuals, symbolizing their VIP status within the community.

Each school and department will receive a set number of golden tickets to ensure that every recognized member receives at least one, with no duplicates. Along with the ticket, honorees will be gifted a unique commemorative shirt featuring a special VIP logo, distinguishing them from the general public merchandise. The shirts are expected to be ordered by the end of February, and recipients will be celebrated across the district's social media platforms, website, and newsletters.

The initiative aims to honor a diverse group of contributors, including students, parents, staff, and volunteers. Examples of potential nominees include students who assist their peers, dedicated parents, engaging bus drivers, and community members who actively support school events. The program is set to kick off in January, with the goal of highlighting the invaluable support these individuals provide to the Oregon City School District.

This recognition effort not only celebrates the district's rich history but also fosters a sense of community and appreciation among those who contribute to the educational environment. As the district prepares for this milestone, the excitement surrounding the initiative is palpable, promising to strengthen community ties and honor those who go above and beyond for the students.
