This week, OHS freshman Finn Watson is Tiger of the Week! Finn is a valuable member of Student Council and was a huge help during the club's recent blood drive, according to sponsor Timaree Sorlie.

"Finn has been a fantastic STUCO member this year," Sorlie said. "He is always willing to jump in and help. It is not uncommon for him to be the first to show up and the last to leave. He recently demonstrated his willingness to help during our blood drive.

We are so appreciative of his hard work and dedication!"

Congratulations, Finn!
