Oglesby Public School District 125

Today students in grades K-5 had an assembly funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation called RoadSafe. The presentation focused on safety when riding bikes and as a pedestrian. As part of the show two professional bmx riders performed some different stunts. The main focus of the presentation encouraged students to wear a helmet when riding their bike.

Our favorite four-legged friend, Marnie the therapy dog, is absolutely loving her time with our students! She especially enjoys seeing all the smiling faces during the start of the school day and bringing comfort and joy to students during their office visits. It's clear that Marnie is an integral part of our school community, and we are so happy to have her spreading cheer to everyone!
