For 57 years, Osseo Area Schools current and former employees and community members have put on an annual variety show to raise money for scholarships to assist graduating students in their post-secondary plans. Some of the performers have been involved since the original show in 1967 and continue to come back year after year. This year, the performers invite the community to come and check out The Big Game at “Wastebasket Revue: LVII” at an upcoming show.

A partial solar eclipse is expected in the Twin Cities metro area from 1-3 p.m. on Monday, April 8. An uncommon midday darkness will be experienced during this time as the sun is blocked by the moon. 

Osseo Area Schools will host a Spring Career Expo Tuesday, March 26, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at Zanewood Community: A STEAM School.

An LGBTQIA+ History and Culture lesson will be provided during a high school advisory/foundation time the first week of April. 

Osseo HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) - Future Health Professionals recently attended and competed at the metro mid-winter conference on Jan. 12. The team is made up of students from Maple Grove, Osseo and Park Center Senior High schools and the Osseo Area Learning Center. 

Nearly 200 students currently attend Osseo Area Learning Center (OALC), the district’s alternative high school, and the school’s scholars had some big successes with credit recovery so far this year: they have earned a combined 160 recovery credits in the first quarter of this school year.

Voters backed the Building a Better Future plan for district safety, learning, technology and school building needs in 2022 and 2023, and planning has begun in earnest to complete all promised projects and improvements within the plan.

Wastebasket Revue, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is now accepting applications for their scholarship program.
