We are so proud of our October students of the month, Kaleena Schmittler (elementary), Lou Menotti (middle grades), Charlie Nielsen (high school), and teacher of the month, Jennie Coggins! Keep up the great work! We greatly appreciate our community sponsors for donating prizes for these individuals to honor their accomplishments! #GoBigO #OGIndians #TheOGWay #CultureOfConfidence
