A big THANK YOU goes out to Joe Brizgis from Eureka Savings Bank who visited the Oglesby Preschool to read to the students today. He shared a Pete the Cat storybook about saving money in a piggy bank to save for the toy you may want. Each classroom received a copy of the storybook for their library. The children had a great time listening to all Mr. Brizgis had to say!
