Today’s Baseball game vs Hartley Melvin- Sanborn has been postponed, due to field conditions.
Physics was making waves at the Ida Grove Rec Center last week! 🌊🚣
OABCIG physics students put their engineering and problem-solving skills to the test by designing and building cardboard boats using only minimal supplies. Using physics principles like buoyancy, balance, force, and motion, they had to create a solution that could actually float — and hopefully survive the trip across the pool! 😄
Always a fun project that combines creativity and hands-on learning!

The OABCIG Baseball team is ready to kick off the 2026 season! Come out and support the Falcons as they open the year at home against Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn.
We’re hoping the weather cooperates tonight… but if there’s one thing more unpredictable than a curveball, it’s the Iowa forecast in May. 🌧️⛈️😅

Students in 4th/5th TAG recently completed a unit involving Lego Robotics Kits. They were able to tour Gomaco Plant 2 to learn how robotics are used in manufacturing in our own community. These students got up close to the many parts used in making paving equipment. Our community is a perfect place to learn about real-life applications for the concepts being learned in TAG. Thanks to Butch Ehrig for answering so many questions!
