Everyone loves a parade! Oak Grove celebrated the October AVID day with a college parade highlighting our research about Arkansas colleges. Every K-5 student made a sash with information they learned in small groups or as a class, and then cheered on each other as they lined the parade route. Way to go students and teachers!
Oak Grove 5th graders took a week-long field trip to STARbase in Jacksonville last week. It was a busy week full of science, technology, engineering, and math! Here are some pictures that show some highlights. Special thanks to Mrs. Fuller, Ms. Drake, and Mrs. Moreno for making the trip with us!
Today is celebrated as the Day of the Dead (el Día de los Muertos). This is a widely recognized Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration. #pcssdproud #serveall
Here is our attendance for the week of October 23-27. Technical difficulties on Friday afternoon and Monday morning are the reason for the delay. Attendance was up in every grade level and was close to the 95% mark overall, at 94%!
Reminder: there is no school tomorrow for students. Teachers have a professional development day. District offices will be open. School will resume on Thursday, November 2. #pcssdproud #serveall
Happy Halloween! Did you know: Halloween originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. What kind of costume will you be wearing tonight (to ward off ghosts, of course 👻)? #pcssdproud #serveall
Our students aren't the only ones who are continuously learning! Congratulations to our very own, Jo Ann Koehler for earning her doctorate degree earlier this month. Dr. Koehler is the director of fine arts for the District. We're proud of you! #pcssdproud #serveall
This year our school theme is Level Up. At the beginning of the 2nd quarter, students and staff wore their favorite gaming t-shirts to remind us to Level Up this quarter! We have set goals for Lexia, IXL, Accelerated Reader, and each classroom has a behavior goal. Setting small goals and working hard to meet them will help us meet our school goals!
We uncovered a few more pics from the Red Ribbon Week Celebration at Oak Grove!
