Thank you students and parents for making this our best year yet. We are so proud of all our math eagles at Oak Grove! A special thanks to all 23 parent volunteer graders and our problem set and technology team members for generously offering your time and efforts in the midst of busy schedules.

Thanks For Supporting the Fun Run Thanks to all who came out to support the Fun Run!
We had a perfect day for the 29th Annual Oak Grove Fun Run (especially after the rain washed away all of the pollen an hour before the race). Fun and fitness was had by all ages in a great turnout of over 230 people for both the 5K and grade race events.
Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped before, during and after the race. We would also like to give a special thanks to our sponsors: Caribou Coffee, Chick-fil-A (North Druid Hills), The Grove, M is for Marketing, North Atlanta Urgent Care, Oak Grove Market, Publix, and Whole Foods. Results and pictures are posted on the PTA website at www.oakgrovepta.org/2012funrun.html. |
Walking Wednesdays!
Safe Routes to School
We had 203 walkers for this Walking Wednesday even with the pollen!! Way to go Oak Grove!!! It is getting lighter in the mornings so please continue to walk and/or bike to school so our number of walkers will keep increasing. Let's shoot for 250 walkers next week! It's a great way to start the day!
We will be gearing up for our Classroom Challenge in April
so please be on the look-out for more details in the near future.
