Today the 3rd grade classes at Lincoln had a guest speaker from the LaSalle County Soil & Water Conservation District. Audrey Moreno explained how soil was formed, what critters are in the soil, what textures make up soils, and the different soil horizons. They finished off by making edible soil horizons using crushed cookies, pudding, cocoa krispies and gummy worms!

Ms. Simpson's first grade class filled their gumball machine for a second time and earned a carnival party! While taking turns getting their faces painted this morning, students did some carnival-themed activities like unscrambling sentences, alphabetizing carnival words, and sorting true/false math equations. Then they all made some balloon dogs and took pictures at the photo booth! This afternoon, everyone got to do some fun game rotations, including balloon darts, foam axe throwing, ring toss, ping pong fishbowls, bullseye ball, chicken flingers, mini golf, googly toss, fishing, and pluck-a-duck! Finally, they topped off the day by picking out some awesome prizes! Everyone had a blast!

Lincoln School Activity Calendar for March 2025
Don't forget! There is no school this Monday, March 3rd, 2025 for Casimir Pulaski Day!
In a bittersweet moment for the Oglesby community, two cross-town rival schools came together for a final game played in the iconic Holy Family gym. This game marked not only a thrilling contest between the teams, but also the end of an era. As the gym echoed with cheers and the clatter of volleyballs, the Holy Family Crusaders played their last game before the school closes its doors under that cherished name.
For years, Holy Family has been a cornerstone of the community. The Crusaders, with their spirit, pride, and dedication, have left a mark on the hearts of this town and Oglesby Public Schools.
