Support Oglesby Schools
The SOS organization is the Oglesby Public Schools Parent-Teacher organization. All parents of each Oglesby Public Grade school student are members of Oglesby SOS. Please plan on attending SOS Meetings. We need you!! If you have any ideas for new activities and ways SOS can be more involved, please come to share them.
SOS objectives are:
- To assist teachers and the school administration in providing a quality educational environment for the children of Oglesby.
- To promote the Oglesby Public Grade School Band and Chorus, their music, and their projects.
- To support the Oglesby Public Grade School Athletic Program.
- To be another liaison between parents and the Oglesby Public School Administration and Board.
Last year, SOS raised approximately $25,000 through fundraising. They included Clubs Choice, Trivia Night, concession stand at home basketball and volleyball games, and other various fundraisers. Most of that amount went back into Washington and Lincoln schools, with the purchases of: Promethian boards and other technology items, hearing and behavioral software, physical education equipment, dictionaries, and calculators. The money raised was also used to pay for field trips, band and sport uniforms, reading incentives, family fun nights, Weekly Readers, the annual carnival, and other teacher and school needs as required.
The SOS also helps organize chaperones for field trips, band and chorus performances, movie nights and the carnival. There are several different board positions in the SOS. They are President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Fundraising, Activities, Music, and Athletics. These positions are for one school year and are up for election each April.
All meetings are held at 7 p.m. in the Lincoln School cafeteria. Meeting dates for the 2011-2012 school year are as follows:
