Letter regarding the Oblong Grade School Mascot
Several of our sophomore and junior girls attended the Young Women Lead Conference on Thursday. Our young women had a fantastic time learning about personal growth, leadership, women in the workplace and empowering each other! They heard inspiring messages from Patrece Dayton, Amberley Snyder and many other amazing women from our own community. Thank you to all the local businesses and individuals that provided such a wonderful experience for our students!

Fifth grade is out of this world! Fifth grade students recently wrapped up a unit on the solar system. They had to demonstrate a mastery of the content, so they were assigned a planet and had to research facts about it. Students then had to transfer that information to an illustration. Abby Davis is shown with her poster that was picked as "People's Choice"! 🪐🌎💫☄️
