WHAT IS THE OGE MINI-MUSEUM?
We have turned the trophy case located outside the cafeteria into a place to display objects of artistic, cultural, educational, historical, or scientific importance. The display may be a collection curated by a student or teacher, or could have significance to a current event like the Lantern Parade. It will also periodically be used to display "Natural Curiosity Show and Tell" items. 
During National Parks Week, there was an exhibit of all things NPS - postcards, souvenirs, passport stamps, Junior Ranger badges and more!
Students learned the importance of bats in our ecosystems and how they can support bat habitats during Bat Week.

Students can also curate their own exhibit for the Mini-Museum.
