Oak Grove Middle School

This weekend, OGMS, OGE, and PHS will be hosting the RamJAMboree Playday for our 3-6 grade basketball teams. These times are the last times this season that our teams can be seen playing, so come out and join us! Games begin at 9:00 am on February 1. There is a $5 entry fee for adults; entry is free for Paragould students and children 3 and under. Please check the schedule for teams and game times.

There are currently six Paragould School District bus routes that will be impacted due to flooding concerns. We certainly understand that some students may need to be checked out early due to these concerns. Please watch for upcoming notifications for bus 5, 10, 74, 78, 86, and 90.

Call for photos: Our yearbook staff are in need of pictures of OGMS students from volleyball and basketball games! You can email photos to Mrs. Dinkins, our yearbook sponsor, at ndinkins@paragouldschools.net

The Great Kindness Challenge week is HERE! Here is a reminder for dress up days for this week!

1, 2, 3, 4! OGMS declares a PENNY WAR! Is the change in your purse or your coin holder getting in your way? Have you been wishing for a way to clear off the spare change from your table or dresser? Boy, do we have great news for you! As an extension of our Great Kindness Challenge, and as a tie in to this past weekend's Polar Plunge, OGMS is collecting pennies, nickels, and dimes this week! You can send the change in pockets, sandwich bags, or paper coin rolls. All proceeds will go to help the Area 1 Special Olympics, AND they fuel this year's House competition!

Whoop whoop! Another event happening Saturday, January 25th is the Little Dancers Clinic put on by our PJHS and PHS Dance team. This event is open to all boys and girls in grades PK - 6th and is being held from 9:00am - 12:00pm at OGE. You can register at the door. Check out the details on the flyer here!

Saturday, January 25th is a busy day in Ram Nation and there is a little bit of something for everyone! 1) Join our Baseball and Softball teams for a FREE event at the PJHS gyms for the 3rd Annual Winterfest. All the details can be found on the PSD or Baseball/Softball Facebook pages AND on the flyer below. 2) Join the Paragould FFA students for a bbq lunch at 12pm at Oak Grove Middle School and stay for the auction! Many of our students have built items for the auction. You can check them all out on the Paragould FFA Facebook page. See the flyer below for more details. 3) Last but not least, several PSD teams will be taking the PLUNGE at the Paragould Polar Plunge at the Community Center. Plunging starts at 2:00pm. Come on out and cheer on our plungers! Details can be found on the flyer below.
