Premium prizes included homecoming tickets, prom tickets and parking passes. Other prizes students won were Bengal Bash t-shirts, OF activity passes, Fandango gift cards, McDonald’s gift cards, Starbucks gift cards, Subway gift cards and Dunkin Donuts gift cards. Junior Brittany Hostutler won the highly sought after parking spot, and Junior Kaylen Weaver won a Prom ticket. Sophomore Sierra Maziur won the Parking Pass. Winning Homecoming tickets were Junior Daminiben Patel and Sophomore Ben Howe. Freshman Carmela Ceriale, Sophomore Hannah Browne, and Faith Skrzelowski won an OF Activity Pass. The Bengal Bash is hosted by the OFHS Deans of Students Lillie Holman and Jake Thormeyer and MC’ed by Assistant Principal for Student Services Adam Wagner. OFHS teachers donate their time and help out with the fun games on the day of the event.
