The morning and afternoon preschool classes were able to spend time with Marnie, the Lincoln Therapy Dog, yesterday when she stopped by for a visit! They learned about Marnie's job at the school, watched as Marnie changed into different hats and costumes, passed around some of Marnie's favorite toys, enjoyed Marnie doing some of her best tricks, and of course they got to cuddle and kiss Marnie! Marnie will be back to visit the preschool classes again in January for a story time!
Parents/Guardians - Please share your extracurricular photos!
We have a new feature in our yearbook program this school year and we are able to create a "community photo album" so that parents/guardians of Oglesby Schools can share pictures they take at extracurricular events. All extracurriculars have a designated photo album where parents/guardians can upload their pictures. These photos can then be shared in our social media posts, website and our yearbook.
PLEASE NOTE: While we appreciate every submission, please understand that due to the volume we receive, space limitations and some students who cannot have pictures shared on social media, we may not be able to feature every photo on social media, our website, or in the yearbook.
If you have pictures from an event that does not have a designated photo album, please email Traci Tomasson at tomassont@ops125.net to see if one can be added or not.
