It was a great first week at OGMS. It started off Monday with district wide breakfast, talent show and some pd. OGMS was crowned Grand Champions of the second annual Paragould's Got Talent. Tuesday was open house and we loved meeting students and parents. Thursday was day one with students and the staff loved meeting them all. Mr. Lamb and Mr. Dial say "it's going to be a great year". ONLY THE BEST AT OGMS!!

The time has arrived! The first day of school is coming fast and the Oak Grove Middle School staff is beyond excited to start another amazing school year!!! We are so excited to see everyone TOMORROW!!! Please be aware of our Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures for car riders. Our drop off in the morning begins at 7:15 am. Our pick up in the afternoon begins at 3:15 pm. Please pay attention to the maps attached to see which lanes are drop off and pick up. For our safety and our students' safety, please pay attention and listen to the staff members who are directing traffic during drop off and pick ups. They are working to ensure that your child enters and leaves school safely.

Tomorrow morning, the sun will rise over every Paragould school, and with it comes the beginning of a brand new year full of possibility. Buses will be rolling through neighborhoods, cafeteria teams will be preparing meals, teachers will be standing at their doors, and classrooms will be ready to welcome students back home. Tomorrow isn’t just the first day of school, it’s the first page of a new chapter. It’s a chance to make a new friend, encourage someone who needs it, ask great questions, work hard, show kindness, and grow a little more than you did yesterday. To our students: We can’t wait to see your smiles. To our families: Thank you for trusting us with your greatest treasures. To our teachers and staff: Thank you for the countless hours you’ve poured into preparing for this moment. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom. This year, our theme is Leave a Legacy. Legacy isn’t built in a single moment, it’s created day by day through the choices we make, the kindness we show, the effort we give, and the lives we touch. Here’s to new beginnings, new memories, and a year that leaves a lasting impact. Let's do this, Rams. ❤️💙
