Ms. Coble’s 1st grade class ended their Human Body unit with Doctor Day! Our aspiring physicians completed a variety of operations including write the room, organ surgery, build a system and much more!! It was a great day!!!

Every morning at 8:15, a different student is chosen to take Marnie for a walk down the halls or outside when the weather is nice! This wonderful routine gives students a special start to their day and Marnie loves getting out and about with her favorite people!

November 15th is about saying "Thank You" to the Oglesby Public School District Board of Education! Our board members spend multiple hours each month on district work, attending meetings, responding to concerns, and taking on other responsibilities most will never hear or read about. We want to personally thank all seven members of the Oglesby Public School Board for their service to the district, our students, and the Oglesby community.

Meet our Board:
