Oglesby Public School District 125

🎉 Fun Friday has officially started at Oglesby Washington! 🎉

Today’s challenge was all about speed and a little friendly competition! 🏆Students had 60 seconds to build the tallest tower possible using only cups!

Each Friday, one student from each grade level and a teacher will participate in a new fun activity! We’re excited to bring some extra fun, laughter, and school spirit into our Fridays! 8th grade took the W today! 💙

Here’s to many more Fun Fridays at Washington! 🎉🙌

Our Lincoln School students have been hard at work creating amazing artwork! From colorful classroom projects and art class creations to our featured artists on display in the District Office’s "Gallery of Greatness," our hallways and boards are beaming with talent! 🖼️❤️

Marnie has been loving all the wonderful arrivals and morning walks with our Lincoln students this week! Whether she's greeting everyone at the door or out on her morning stroll, she brings so many smiles to our days. 🐶✨

A big thank you to Amanda Carter, Museum Director of the LaSalle County Historical Society, for visiting Washington School today! She spoke with our 8th grade history students about local history topics and shared how the museum can support their History Fair research using its vast collection of primary and secondary sources. We appreciate your time and expertise, Amanda!

The next games for 5th and 6th are Monday, September 28th at Parkside starting at 4:30 p.m. Click on the link below for a complete girls' basketball schedule:

Did you know we have a trading card game club at Lincoln School? The Trading Card Game Club (TCG Club) met this week and practiced Lorcana, a Disney themed trading card game. Members have been learning how to play and competing against one another. Once they have mastered Lorcana, they are going to switch to learning how to play Pokémon! Trading cards aren’t just for collecting, they’re for playing too! Extreme Shoutout to Cowzah Cards in Peru for their generous donation of starter decks, damage dice, and Pokémon cards to get them started!

Book club has officially begun at Lincoln School! This time the students are reading Serafina and the Black Cloak! They are already very suspicious of some “innocent” characters….

Parents/Guardians - Please share your extracurricular photos!

We have a feature in our yearbook program this school year and we are able to create a "community photo album" so that parents/guardians of Oglesby Schools can share pictures they take at extracurricular events. All extracurriculars have a designated photo album where parents/guardians can upload their pictures. These photos can then be shared in our social media posts, website and our yearbook.

PLEASE NOTE: While we appreciate every submission, please understand that due to the volume we receive, space limitations and some students who cannot have pictures shared on social media, we may not be able to feature every photo on social media, our website, or in the yearbook.

If you have pictures from an event that does not have a designated photo album, please email Traci Tomasson at tomassont@ops125.net to see if one can be added or not.

Marnie wrapped up another paw-fect week at school! 🐾 From greeting everyone bright and early during morning arrivals to hard-earned hallway walks and fantastic one-on-one office visits, this little therapy dog is living her best life. She completely adores her students!

The LaSalle-Oglesby baseball team finished their season last night with a loss in the regionals to Coal City. The players learned a lot this year and look forward to next year! Great job everyone!
