The high school baseball field got a renovation yesterday! We now have a fence for the safety of the dugout instead of the block walls, which will give players more room and better airflow! More work to come to prepare for the new season!!
All OABCIG Fifth Grade students on Monday, February 26th, will be learning about the civil war. During the presentation, the students will have an opportunity to see an old civil war cannon being fired around 1:30 PM in Ida Grove.
