New restaurant “Rooted” by OH teacher Shon Keener takes root in Minooka
A bougie, fine dining experience that dishes out exuberant platters of NY strip steak and plum and jam focaccia seldom has much in common with the starkly illuminated brick-claddened classrooms, save for the man, the myth, the legend himself, and newly acclaimed 5-star restaurant owner: OH science teacher Shon Keener.

Hundreds of student creations on tiny four-inch by five-inch squares decorated the OH hallways during the 21st annual Chicagoland 4x5 Art Exhibition at Oswego High School on Nov. 8 from 5-6 p.m. Anyone from junior high to high school was able to submit their artwork to the 4x5 show and have their portfolios and submissions viewed by colleges.

El lunes, 30 de octubre, las estudiantes fueron informadas cuando llegaron a la Oswego High School que una tubería se rompió en el segundo piso e inundó las aulas y partes del primer piso del edificio. Cuando llegaron los estudiantes, la administración los trasladó hacia el gimnasio y la casa de campo.

I think this is a way that our school community can serve that group of students and help to encourage their voices.”
