Also, there will be no learning activities next week during our regularly scheduled Spring Break (March 23 - 27). Look for more information regarding how learning will be classified by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) for the days after Spring Break.

Congratulations to Khia and Ms. Sego for their recent awards! Click on the picture for more information.Open Studio - Come join us at 7:45 on Wednesday mornings!
Studio 68 exists to provide a collaborative work space for making, learning, exploring, sharing and doing. This can be done with the use of high tech or no tech tools. We have created this space for our students and have a variety of maker equipment including 3D printers, dye sublimation, stem activities and a green screen video studio. Open Studio is not necessarily a club, but an opportunity for students to learn how to use the studio when making their own projects. Dr. Baele and Mr. Lindsay will provide guidance and assistance as students plan, build, and showcase their work. Most materials will be provided, but students may be expected to purchase some items to fit the needs of their project. Open Studios will be held on Wednesdays before school at 7:45 until morning assembly for students 5th through 8th grade. Students are not required to make every meeting but it is encouraged. Watch for more information on our Facebook page and the Oak Grove website. Our first meeting will be on October 23rd at 7:45.
