Career Fair

Friday, October 24th, is the BIG day. Oak Grove will be hosting their 5th Career Fair from 8:30-10:30 a.m. This year, our Career Fair will be a little different in that we will combine it with a Health Fair. Some of our guests will be a cake decorator, horse trainer, Cici's Pizza, Coca-Cola Co. and many more. Plan to be present in school on that day. I will post as many pictures as I can of the Career after the 24th!
