Lincoln School Activity Calendar for March 2025
Don't forget! There is no school this Monday, March 3rd, 2025 for Casimir Pulaski Day!
In a bittersweet moment for the Oglesby community, two cross-town rival schools came together for a final game played in the iconic Holy Family gym. This game marked not only a thrilling contest between the teams, but also the end of an era. As the gym echoed with cheers and the clatter of volleyballs, the Holy Family Crusaders played their last game before the school closes its doors under that cherished name.
For years, Holy Family has been a cornerstone of the community. The Crusaders, with their spirit, pride, and dedication, have left a mark on the hearts of this town and Oglesby Public Schools.
