6th grade has a lot to talk about this month! Check it out on their newsletter and did you hear?? We got a Student of the Month!



We are so grateful for all our students and families! In the month of November, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Haverkamp read "A Little Spot of Thanksgiving" to every classroom. Each student filled out a leaf for all the things they are thankful for and added it to our Thankful Tree! We also celebrated many Tbird Ticket winners. Finally, our school earned a Slumber Party for filling up the Tbird Ticket Tower. What a fun month! Happy Thanksgiving!





We have so many wonderful students at Ogema Elementary! Congratulations to our November Student's of the Month! You are amazing!
