Throwing the Pie in a Teacher’s Face for Cancer Awareness

April 21, 2015 Leave a comment


Two teachers at Oakland-Craig School took a pie to the face to raise awareness for cancer research. The teachers were Joe Anderson and Kris Reinert. Their children, Braylon Anderson and Landon Reinert, were chosen to throw the pies in their parents’ face!

Many students at O-C are members of the Relay for Life, raising money for the fight against cancer. Currently, they have raised approximately $1,000 for the cause. Their group is titled Strike Out Cancer. The members invite everyone to the Craig ball diamond on Friday, June 19th to participate in their event to Strike Out Cancer!

December 9, 2014 1 Comment


Kat Country Hub asked Oakland-Craig High School Senior Heather Riedy a few questions on her years in school and what she is hoping her future will hold. Please read below and share in Heather’s journey!

1. Where do you live?
 876 County Road 10, Oakland, NE.

No, I went to school in Sioux City from kindergarten to sixth grade, and moved to Oakland in seventh grade.
3. Who is your favorite teacher at O-C and why?
My calculus teacher Mr. Rexroad because he taught me a lot of math stuff.
4. How do you feel being a senior?
Like Jean Valjean from Les Miserables before he broke his parole, like something new is right around the corner.
5. What are some of your favorite school memories, from elementary too?
All the weird conversations during cross country practice and the times my class got told how bad we are at fundraising.
6. Please list your family members.
My parents, Ed and Val, and my sisters, Ashley and Kendra.
7. What activities have you been involved in during high school?
Cross country, track, student council, quiz bowl, national honor society, one acts, speech, TEAMS and O-C Club.
8. What do you and your friends enjoy doing when not in school?
Having really deep conversations about really deep things. Sometimes we also read really deep books and talk about how really deep they are.
9. What is your favorite class?
Government, I love having really deep conversations with Mr. Lierman.
10. Are you taking any college classes?
 My calculus class is straight out of the UNL syllabus, but it’s not for college credit, and my English class is dual-credit.
11. What are your plans after high school?
Go to Harvard, drop out a few credits short of graduation, move to Hollywod and make it big in the movie industry.

In Hollywood, laughing at everyone who said I wouldn’t make it there.
