Get them while they're still available!

2023 OGMS Yearbooks are here! They will be handed out this week in a signing party. Yearbook staff still has a few yearbooks on sale for $35, and are selling signing pens (felt-tip, no-smear) for $2 for the signing party. Cash and check (made to Oak Grove Middle School) will be accepted for both 2023 yearbooks and signing pens. Don't let these memories pass!
