Oasis Bighorn Bulletin – Annual Student Updates Due 
Students visit UNR campus

Author: Courtesy Oasis Academy

The annual update is upon us. Parents of enrolled students’ kindergarten through high school need to log into their Infinite Campus Parent Portals and complete the update. This information is critical to keep emergency contact and household information current. Parents received an email with instructions on completing the online forms. For questions, please contact Jaime Lawrence by calling 775-423-5437 or at [email protected]

DJ Club Starting up Again 

Students will be spinning the music again at school events including dances and games. Advisor Jaime Lawrence is excited to be taking the helm of the DJ Club this winter. “Restarting the DJ Club is going to be fun. I’m passionate about music and used to be in a band, so music has been a huge part of my life. I want students in the club to enjoy themselves and learn about all genres of music in this hands-on experience.” explains Lawrence. “The club will help come up with ideas for events and set the atmosphere.” To learn more about the DJ Club or book them for an event contact Lawrence at [email protected] 

Colleges Visit Campus 

Continuing throughout the fall semester high school students will have the opportunity to hear from multiple colleges and universities including Montana Western, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, University of Nevada, Reno, Universal Technical Institute (UTI) and Truckee Meadows Community College. “We want students to start learning as freshman about all of the different options available to them for higher education. Each of these schools bring different degree programs, along with different climates and cultures. It’s important for students to understand what they want and find the right fit for a school for their academic success,” encourages high school counselor, Andy Lenon.  

Seniors Finish out Fall Sports 

Oasis Senior athletes finished out their seasons this week. Volleyball played in regionals against Coleville. Cross Country competed in regionals at the Shadow Mountain Sports Complex. Congratulations to Senior Volleyball players Jelen Bayoneta, Ellie Bird, and Lauren Halloran, and Senior Cross-Country runners Gavin Bracken and Hunter Arends. “I decided to play volleyball because I was looking to try something new in 8th grade. I had recently lost my passion for dance, and just wasn't enjoying it anymore, so I decided to try out volleyball and I instantly fell in love with it. It's going to be very hard to say goodbye to it,” said Halloran. She will graduate in May with an associate degree from WNC and her high school diploma. Bayoneta, Halloran, Bracken and Arends will also graduate with both their associates degrees from WNC and their high School diplomas in May. Bird is graduating early in December.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
