Veterans Day Celebration

Veterans and current service members in our Oak Grove community are invited to attend our annual Veterans Day celebration with their families on the morning of Monday, November 11. This event is open to veterans, service members, and their families. We are excited to share that we will live-stream the event for all Oak Grove families to enjoy. The ceremony will begin promptly at 9:00 am in the Patt Gym. Check-in will start at 8:40 am. Please park in the upper or lower parking lot and have an ID available for check-in through the main entrance (door 1). The ceremony will be followed by refreshments and an opportunity to explore the Historical Artifact Museum, organized by the eighth-grade students. If you are planning to attend, please RSVP using this link.

If you would like to honor a veteran and have their picture displayed, please use the Honoring a Veteran form and submit it to the office or your child’s classroom teacher before the event

Save the Date! The K-5 Scholastic Book Fair is coming up November 18—21. The shopping schedule by classroom and volunteer signup can be found here. You can also sign up for an e-wallet here.
