2024-25 OTSPA T-Shirt Winner Announced

The Old Trail School Parents Association (OTSPA) is excited to celebrate the creative talent within our community by announcing third grader Rehs '30 as the winner of the 2024-2025 T-shirt Design Contest! Her beautiful artwork, showcased above, captures the spirit of Old Trail School’s unique location in the heart of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and thoughtfully reflects our school's core values.

Rehs’ design will be featured on a special edition T-shirt, which is now available for purchase. Families have until Monday, November 4, to order the T-shirts, which come in light gray and are available in a variety of youth and adult sizes. These shirts are perfect for showing school spirit on OTS Spirit Days! Priced at $20 each, proceeds from the sales will support OTSPA initiatives, benefiting the entire school community.

This year’s contest saw remarkable submissions from students, making it an exciting yet tough decision for the judges. We extend our congratulations to all the talented artists who participated!
