Congratulations to Mrs. Vunileva for this year's yearbook dedication.

Dedication

Mrs. Toakase Vunileva

Mrs. VunilevaIt was once said that "A teacher affects eternity; she can never tell where her influence stops."  When thinking about what Mrs. Vunileva does at Ozark, this statement is definitely true.  For the past three years, Toakase Vunileva has gifted Ozark with her talents, care, love, and passion for God.  She has put her full effort into many areas.  She not only teaches, but also serves as chaplain, vice principal, recruiter, senior sponsor, and so many other things that make her irreplaceable to our school.  She is always there to represent the students and goes above and beyond to make sure that their needs are met.  The best way to describe Mrs. Vunileva is in the students' own words:

"She brings so much to our school.  She gives all that she has.  She has made Ozark her own and it is a part of her and she is a huge part of Ozark."

"She has made Ozark feel like a very spiritual school to me.  She is one of the reasons that Ozark is the place that it is.  Also, she always has a plan and knows what to do."

"Mrs. Vunileva is the glue that keeps this place together.  She is always there for you and no matter how busy she is, she will drop everything to help you."

Mrs. Toakase & Pastor Paul VunilevaThe greatest thing about Mrs. Vunileva is that there is no doubt that she has given her life to the Lord.  She loves Him with all her heart and that is why she has dedicated herself to showing His love to the rest of us.  In her classes, in her everyday she makes Ozark a better place.  That is why the 2008 yearbook is dedicated to her.

Ms. Alyssa Seltman

Shuttle BusShuttle Bus Update

April 10, 2008

Shuttle Bus - Artist Rendering

Ozark has leased the shuttle bus for 30 days which we hope to purchase.  With only a few thousand dollars yet to raise, thank you to all who have contributed and to those still planning on donating.  If the needed funds come in on time, we won't have to return the bus at the end of the 30 days.  All but $1000 of the lease price will apply toward purchase price.

To date over $87,000 dollars have been raised or pledged towards the purchase of a new 40+ passenger shuttle bus.  The Senior and Junior classes are leading the way in giving.  Your support will help make this important project happen.

Seven of Ozark's scholars traveled to Southwestern Adventist University to participate in the fifth annual Brain Games.  This year's topic was "Emergency Medicine".  Saturday night the weekend of learning is capped off with a "Math Bowl" competition.  With last year's Ozark participants coming away with second place and $750 for the Math/Science department, this year's group had their goal in site.  In the final round Ozark competed against Campion Academy's team.  After very close competition Ozark came in second but was awarded $1000 along with the winner.  Congratulations team!
