Hello and welcome to Mr. Van Newkirk's 8th Grade Science Webpage! This is my first year at Oak Grove Middle School and I can truly say that is honor and privilege to teach at such an amazing school. The community and culture at OGMS is truly unique and special. I am committed to helping each scholar elevate their learning and potential for success to the highest level possible. I believe that all scholars have the potential to learn and perform at a high level. After 23 years of teaching experience, I have observed and witnessed such successes and achievements. Thanks again for allowing me to be a part of the Davidson County School System here at OGMS! Get ready to exercise curiosity and explore the unknown this year!
