Quasimodo. Q-U-A-S-I-M-O-D-O. Quasimodo. And that is the word that won OGMS 5th grader, Ahlam Nur the Greene County Spelling Bee last night! Way to go - your Ram Family is proud of you! Next up, State Spelling Bee. #psdrams #spellingbeechamp

Check it out! 18 OGMS students and staff members took the plunge last Saturday - the Polar Plunge that is! While that is awesome, the best part is the school raised over $2,100 to donate to the Special Olympics. Great job, OGMS! #psdrams #specialolympics #polarplunge

We are still reading the Tale of Despereaux! Here is our reading schedule for this week. (If you're ahead, that's okay! Take this time to talk about what's happened so far....How do you feel about Despereaux's family? Do you think Roscuro is going to be true to his rat self, or will he try to be kind? What do you think of the king?) Virtual students: if you still haven't picked up your book, we have one for you in the front office! Come and get it - you can catch up quickly! :) #onlytheBESTatOGMS

Paragould School District will be open for school today, Thursday, 1/20/22.

Here's our reading schedule for this week! We hope you are enjoying Despereaux's adventures as a family.

As promised, here is the link for the Press Conference with Coach David Gunn. Tune in TODAY (1/14) at 10:30am to watch it live. You won't want to miss it! https://youtu.be/FtlqlvEtDfM #RamUp! #psdrams #welcomehome

We began a new tradition this year. Senior athletes are choosing the teacher who made the most impact on their life and presenting them with an invitation to join them at Senior Night and a t-shirt with their name on the back. Today we are thankful for new traditions and for our faculty who truly does MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
