Happy National School Psychology Week to our OPS School Psychologist - Es Harris! During the week of November 6-10, schools throughout the United States celebrate this week to highlight the important work school psychologists do to help all students thrive. This year's theme is "Let's Grow Together," inspired by the importance of both personal and shared strengths in our growth as individuals and school communities in every season of life. Thank you, Es, for all you do for the students and staff at Oglesby Schools! We appreciate you so much!
OPS students at Lincoln and Washington Schools enjoyed an assembly this morning with Jonte Hall from the Harlem Wizards! The assembly included fun-filled comedic skits, ball-handling tricks, the ABC's of bullying, and the message to Never Give Up!
Special thanks to Mr. DeBrock at Washington for being a good sport today while going against “The Giant”! See our OPS YouTube channel for some great videos at Washington School!
