Online Registration Is Open

Parents of returning Oak Grove students can now go through the online registration process for 2012-13.  This consists of confirming or modifying the data we have on file, then making a payment via online payment or check.  If paying by check, we ask that a separate check be issued for each student.  When you are brought to our web store, you will be able to make purchases for multiple children in your family.  Simply provide the ID and password for each child that the item is being purchased for.

Buckyball Dangers
Buckyballs are small 5mm balls that look like ball bearings but contain a strong magnet. They were originally sold as a “desktop toy” for adults that can be formed into various shapes. However, children have taken it to a new and dangerous activity.  They are using them to simulate piercings, and putting one on the inside of their lip, cheek, nose and another on the outside or putting two on their tongue.  Accidental swallowing of buckyballs may cause very serious health issues.  As they are going through the intestines, they can attach themselves to each other in different parts of the intestine causing serious problems that often result in major surgery to remove them. Please discuss this with your children and the dangers of using them in this manner.   There are websites you can go to for more information.  One of them is a short video at http://www.10news.com/video/30451695/index.html

We are starting to see them at school.  If they are using them at school, they will be taken away and parents will need to pick them up if they want them returned.   If you have any questions, please contact Sandy Magdalener, RN at ext. 2011
 
Oak Grove Science Club Takes 1st at Regional Science Fair!

by Science Club Sponsor Lynn Pusateri, M.Ed,

On Wednesday, March 14th and Saturday, March 17th, the annual science fair competitions were held at our own Oak Grove School and Niles North High School in Skokie.

The students from Oak Grove rocked with energy, enthusiasm, and success.  They gave up lunches with their friends, study halls, before and after school hours, and worked for months preparing the almost thirty page papers for the fair.  The projects were meticulously researched and presented.  Finally, the members of the Science Club gave their presentations to the paper session and project session judges on their respective days and the results were amazing.
