Oglethorpe County Middle School

Each year, the 8th grade band is invited to join the high school marching band in the stands to learn what marching band is all about. Some of the 8th graders even joined in on the fun early by participating all year in the marching band including performing in the half time show. All had a great time last Friday and combining to cheer on the Patriots!

Last Thursday, ten of our 8th grade FCCLA members from the Food, Nutrition & Wellness class had an amazing day at the Region 3 FCCLA Meeting and UGA tour!  They explored Dawson Hall—the heart of Family and Consumer Sciences—visited the McFall Child Development Center, checked out the state-of-the-art science labs, and got the latest FCCLA updates. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with students from across the region and get a real taste of college life and career possibilities. #FutureLeaders #CollegeBound #FCCLA #CareerReady #UGATour #FamilyConsumerSciences #NextGenScholars
