🎉 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!

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….
