Turns out a little, light public shaming can go a long way. An anonymous Instagram account in Oswego posts about student’s bad parking and may have slightly improved students parking after only a couple weeks.
The Instagram account owner (who wished to remain anonymous) said in an Insta chat interview, “I think the account might have changed a few peoples parking, as I've seen fewer people with a wheel in the grass or crooked.”
The account has become a popular topic among students, because it combines humor with a common issue in the school parking lot: truly bad parking.
“I think it’s funny as long as no one is being mean about it,” said OH junior Djevdet Vejseli said.
According to the US Government, every year, more than 40,000 people in the United States die in a car crash, many of them caused by preventable mistakes made by drivers.
Most new drivers aren’t aware of how much they need to be constantly analyzing their surroundings,” said Oswego's Top Driver instructor Andy Gerbitz. “A good proactive driver is routinely making predictions and adjustments before encountering any potential problems.”
At OH, the Driver's Ed program offered through the Kinetic Wellness Department offers detailed supports for early drivers. A learning opportunity for students, these early experiences with trained teachers and professionals help to overcome potential bad habits.
To connect locals to their county's ties to the Underground Railroad, local historians presented at the Freedom's Path event, Sept. 24 at Montgomery Village Hall. The presentation is intended to educate the community and demonstrate how everyday citizens can still make an impact to this day. Organizers hope that this presentation will encourage locals to explore how national historical events played out in their own backyards.
OH has been recognized for the strength of its Fine Arts programs by the Illinois Art Education Association (IAEA) with the School of Distinction Award. The recognition emphasizes the work of OH students and teachers across multiple areas of the arts.
According to Fine Arts Department Chair Michael Skura, the recognition has been the result of growth within the department.
“When I first became a department chair back in 2004, I had a five year plan,” Skura said. “By 2010, our kids were just really doing incredible work.”
The Fine Arts Department teaches about a wide range of artistic disciplines and mediums, including sculpture, pottery, jewelry, mixed media, digital art and photography. Skura said the department’s success comes from the relationship between teachers, students and their shared effort to produce creative and strong work.
