From Summer Classes to Careers in Advanced Manufacturing!
The Osseo-Fairchild Youth Apprenticeship Program provides students with an opportunity to take their education beyond the classroom and gain hands-on experience in advanced manufacturing.
For Logan and Henry, that journey began at the end of their 8th-grade year!
The OF Tech Education Center offers summer classes for credit, specifically designed to give younger students an opportunity to complete prerequisites early and open the door to more advanced coursework during their high school years.
Both Logan and Henry took advantage of this opportunity by completing summer classes in Machining and Welding. Those early experiences allowed them to move into Machining II sooner, further developing their skills and sparking an interest in careers in manufacturing.
Now, as juniors, both students are putting their skills and interests to work through Youth Apprenticeships at Osseo Precision Machine, where they are gaining valuable, real-world experience in the machining industry.
This is what career-connected education is all about: starting early, creating opportunities, developing skills, and helping students turn interests into career pathways!

A BIG THANK YOU to our local first responders! 🧡🖤
We want to extend our sincere thanks to the Osseo Rural Fire Department, City of Osseo, and Osseo Police Department for their quick response and thorough investigation following a smoke alarm activation at our Middle/High School this afternoon.

🍽️ What’s on Your Plate? More Than You Might Think!
Our English 12 and Advanced English 10 students took a closer look at how they spend their time in a lesson called “What’s on Your Plate?”
Students evaluated their daily schedules and created visual “plates” to show how they balance school, work, homework, activities, sports, and everything else that fills their 24 hours.
They also created written caricatures that depicted how others perceive them compared to what is really happening in their lives.
It’s a powerful reminder that there is often much more on a student’s plate than meets the eye. The hard work, responsibilities, and effort our students put in every day deserve to be recognized!
A message from Ms. Schultz, "Good, hard work, O-F students. You will change the world!" 🧡🖤

4th Grade cartographers (map makers) have been busy studying the beautiful regions that make up the United States!
Students read about the climate and landforms that make each region unique and created maps with key details of each. We are so lucky to live in such a varied and unique country, and even luckier to teach such creative, curious, and dedicated students!

🎃 Treats No Tricks! 🧡🖤
Our Osseo-Fairchild FBLA members celebrated Halloween by giving back to our community! Using funds they raised throughout the year, students purchased and assembled free lunch bags for individuals in need and spent their lunch period delivering them door to door.
We're proud of these students for showing that Halloween isn't just about getting treats—it's about spreading kindness, too! 👻❤️
