Communities at Oshkosh North High School is a Project Based Learning environment that revolves around the community. We learn with the community, within the community, in order to make the community a better place. Our goal is to provide hands on and relevant learning opportunities for our students so they learn the content as well as 21st century skills.

The exposure of cultures is a an amazing opportunity to have. This was greatly shown today as Communities attended to North's Multicultural week. Where Ailen Chiesa, a foreign exchange student from Argentina, spoke of her life in Argentina and the beautiful culture they have there. Like the dances and their most talked about sport; soccer and pato. Argentina is a similar country to America with a democratic government with a female president! We were also I introduced to the Chinese culture by North's own Taylor Buman. She is a student at north who attended school in China for nine months. However, much of what she learned could not be told as she was cut by the bell. She was able to teach us some phrases she often used like "Wo Bu Zhidao" which means I don't know! Although, the presentations were a brief view of Argentina and China it was an amazing opportunity. Thank you to all those who presented and who are going to. It is opportunity that should be shown more. So, like here at Communities, get students involved!
