Oglesby Public School District 125

A huge thank you to our local Oglesby Fire Department and Oglesby Ambulance Service for visiting our preschool students today! The children had an absolute blast exploring the fire truck, learning about important fire safety rules, and meeting our community heroes. Experiences like this make learning so exciting and memorable. Thank you for keeping our community safe and for taking the time to inspire our littlest learners

Today’s Fun Friday at Oglesby Washington came down to a high-stakes toss into the baskets: two students from each grade level stepped up to see who could stack up the highest score using ball pit balls. Regular balls counted for 1 point, but those yellow ones were the ultimate game-changers at 5 points each!

Congratulations to our 8th graders for bringing the accuracy and taking home the win again! 🥇👏

Mrs. Goodbred's class, along with Mrs. McClellan and Mrs. Grosenbach, watched Spookley the square pumpkin and then they made a craft and a fun snack to go along with it!
