Oak Forest HS Students Relax at Recognition Breakfast

Students were treated to breakfast and bingo


Oak Forest High School students Alyssa Ryan, Julia Zelinski, Emily Marcheschi, Breanna Horvath, and Kinsey Carrera work their Bengal Bingo dabbers with furious concentration at the Spring Student Recognition Breakfast.

Students were nominated to attend the Spring Student Recognition Breakfast based on a recommendation by a teacher and were treated to a yummy continental breakfast of fruit, bagels and donuts. Students played Bengal Bingo, called by OFHS’s very own Bingo expert, Principal Sikora, kept rolling by the ever-swift letter spinning of Athletic Director Towner, and entertained by the DJ of the hour, Associate Principal Dunne. This Bingo team kept students on their toes by inventing various games of Bengal Bingo, such as four corners, or diagonals. If students were lucky and won, they got to emit a Bengal “ROAR” and accept a gift card from various local restaurants such as Dunkin Donuts.

Keeping with the tradition of excellence that Oak Forest High School is known for, many students were recommended for this recognition breakfast. They were: Yosra Abdulwahid, Jordin Ahlgrim, Amanda Ashmore, Julia Bahena-Villasana, Rory Bailey, Clujel Joyce Bellon, Josh Boger, Josh Bruno, Kinsey Carrera, Jack Ciullo, Victoria Conley, Joe Crosetto, Adam Crubaugh, Ivan Czajkowski, Jennifer Elizalde-Prado, Ni’Gere Epps, Rija Epps, Alexander Fitzgerald, Madeline Furstenau, Annais Gangolf, Dylan Glas, Niamh Haran, Breanna Horvath, Allison Isom, Antonio Kimmons, Emma Kleber, Kelsey Kolecki, Nicholas Lambros, Zachary Lipine, Dawn Lubaton, Emily Marcheschi, Nia McDaniels, Nathan McGovern, Millicent McMahon, Casey McMurray, Madison Miller, Ronan Morrissey, Danielle Murawski, Nicole Anne Neri, Meghan O’Keefe, Keith Pederesen, Fuad Rafidi, Yenise Rosado, Alyssa Ryan, Ian Ryan, Erin Silha, Precious Smith, Amelia Sorensen, Jonathan Sullivan-Wood, Alexandra Tattas, Iryna Topchyi, Maximus Torres, Anna Triezenberg, Jessica Weaver, Modupeoluwa, Jennifer Wimmer, and Julia Zelinski.

Afterwards, Assistant Principal Jane Dempsey suggested that students bring tasty muffins to the teachers who recommended them for the breakfast as a way to thank them and students took her up on her suggestion.

Congratulations and keep up on your hard work students!
