🛝 MORE FUN. MORE SMILES. MORE PLAY! ⚽

Help Us Elevate Recess at Oak Grove Elementary!

Recess is more than just a break from class—it’s where friendships are forged, creativity takes flight, and energy gets a healthy release! To make our daily playtime the absolute best it can be, we are refreshing our recess items!

We’ve created an Oak Grove Elementary Recess Amazon Wish List, packed with items that will keep our students active, engaged, and smiling all year long. We would love for items to be donated for our students to use during recess for the upcoming school year!

We appreciate your support! ❤️🐅☀️🐾

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the superheroes behind the scenes — our Counselor, Nurse, and SRO! 💙✨

From bandaging scraped knees and calming worried hearts to giving the best advice and keeping our school safe every single day… this dream team does it ALL! 🩹🫶🚓

Our counselor is the master of pep talks, our nurse is basically magic with ice packs and tummy aches, and our SRO keeps smiles big and hallways safe. We are so thankful for the care, kindness, patience, and love they pour into our students and staff every day.

Oak Grove Elementary is a better place because of YOU! 🍎💛

Behind every strong classroom is an incredible support system 💡✨

This Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating our Academic Support Dream Team — Ms. Baughn, Ms. Rogers, and Ms. McKay! 📚💛

These amazing educators work their magic behind the scenes and alongside our teachers every single day — coaching, planning, encouraging, and problem-solving to make sure every student gets exactly what they need to succeed. From targeted interventions to data-driven strategies, they help turn challenges into growth and “I don’t get it” into “I’ve got this!” 🙌

They’re not just supporting students — they’re empowering teachers, strengthening classrooms, and lifting our entire school community higher. Their impact reaches every hallway, every lesson, and every success story.

We see you. We appreciate you. And we are so thankful for the difference you make every day! 💙
