Communicating gratitude is always important, but especially at Thanksgiving. We want to thank ALL of our wonderful Ogle Community for being a part of our fun events these last few weeks, and for helping us to really bring together our Ogle Ohana!
As we move closer into the holiday season we'd like to also wish you a wonderful fall break with your families. If you celebrate Thanksgiving we hope you enjoy a fantastic feast with family & friends! Students will return to school on Monday, November 27th!

OGLE FUN RUN 2023 RESULTS
Our 2023 Ogle Fundraiser was a HUGE success! Thank you to everyone who contributed funds, supported all of our Ogle runners, volunteered their time, and shared our fundraiser with family & friends. Thanks to YOUR participation and contributions we raised $15,382 for Ogle, we also were able to turn the event into a COLOR RUN! THIS IS AMAZING!! We will be able to provide ALL planned programs for Ogle this year as well as some additional fun things we have in the works. We are currently working through the logistics for the soccer goals to be set up on the outside turf and thanks to these funds we were able to have a successful Fall Festival last Friday night! We appreciate our Ogle Community so much and can't wait to share photos from all the fun events and programs you are helping us to support this year! THANK YOU OGLE FAMILIES!!
**Also a big thank you to Abbie Hupp and her daughter for the beautiful collage with photos from the fun run! You can find this poster in the main hallway of Ogle to the right of the library! More photos from events to come throughout the school year!**

Scholastic Book Fair & Story Night
The past month has been very busy at Ogle! We had our Fall Scholastic Book Fair the week after our Fun Run, and the week before our Fall Festival. Even with the crazy scheduling our families made every effort to come out and purchase books, as well as attend our Story Night. THANK YOU! We received 25% cash back from Scholastic from book sales, this brought us to $2,648.43! We were also able to have some fun with our amazing super heros who dressed the part and read fun stories to our families while enjoying milk & cookies. Check out some of our photos below!
