"What happens when you mix Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math? Pure FUN! Our students at Lincoln School dived into some awesome STEAM activities with some of the 4th graders making huge creations and others trying to land their "lunar landers" on the moon. The fifth grade students made their own versions of Mount Rushmore!
Under the sea, there's a whole world of talent! 🌟 Here's a little sneak peek of our amazing junior high cast diving into Finding Nemo Jr. These kids are working so hard, and the show is going to be unforgettable. Mark your calendars and come see the full show! You won't be disappointed! 💙🧡
The show is at Washington Junior High School today, Friday, March 6th at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday March 7th at 2:00 p.m. Don't miss it!

On Thursday evening, Oglesby Washington hosted its annual spring open house. Student Council members led the way, giving incoming fifth graders guided tours of the school. They provided a firsthand look at school life, highlighting classroom locations and sharing what to expect from the curriculum. Beyond the tours, the Student Council hosted a successful bake sale featuring everything from cake pops to rice crispy treats. Meanwhile, the gym transformed into a career fair, where local organizations met with students to discuss various career paths and the training required to succeed in those fields.
Thank you so much to the following individuals and programs who generously lent their time and expertise to our career fair: Joe Villareal, LP Welding; Willard Mott, IVCC Agriculture; Lyndsey Beetz, IVCC Dental; Cathy Lenkaitis, IVCC Nursing; Samantha Branaman, IVCC EMT & Paramedics.
Thank you to all students, families, and community members who attended!
