Oglesby Public School District 125

Today’s Fun Friday at Oglesby Washington came down to a high-stakes toss into the baskets: two students from each grade level stepped up to see who could stack up the highest score using ball pit balls. Regular balls counted for 1 point, but those yellow ones were the ultimate game-changers at 5 points each!

Congratulations to our 8th graders for bringing the accuracy and taking home the win again! 🥇👏

Mrs. Goodbred's class, along with Mrs. McClellan and Mrs. Grosenbach, watched Spookley the square pumpkin and then they made a craft and a fun snack to go along with it!

Today’s challenge was all about speed and a little friendly competition! 🏆Students had 60 seconds to build the tallest tower possible using only cups!

Each Friday, one student from each grade level and a teacher will participate in a new fun activity! We’re excited to bring some extra fun, laughter, and school spirit into our Fridays! 8th grade took the W today! 💙

Here’s to many more Fun Fridays at Washington! 🎉🙌
