Yay for the Literacy Parade and for Mrs. Collins!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Literacy Parade! Your enthusiasm and support made the morning truly special. Together, we celebrated the joy of reading and the power of words. We also celebrated our beloved Mrs. Collins on her last day at OGE by dedicating the new playground to her! OGE is fortunate to have had Mrs. Collins dedicate her time and skills to our school for 36 years! We will certainly miss her but wish her a happy retirement!

Parents! The Book Fair is FINALLY Here!

This is the moment we have all been waiting for...a great time to encourage reading and raise money for the school at the same time! 

If you'd like to spend time with your child and their friends, help them choose a book, enjoy being surrounded by books, and love to encourage reading...the book fair is the place to be! 

Fun volunteer options include working the register, helping with set up and clean up, and assisting shoppers! You can be a part of the Book Fair's success by signing up for a slot and having some fun!
