The Oak Grove kindergarten teachers, with help from Coach White , Mrs. Peach, and Mrs. Lee in Prek held a Kindergarten Roundup and Signing on August 8th and 9th. Teachers got a chance to get to know students' needs in a calm environment, and students committed to doing their best in kindergarten! We hope to make this an annual event. Thank you to all the parents who were able to participate. More pictures to come!
Don't forget Open House is this Friday from 5:30 to 6:30! Pick up your school supplies thanks to Graves Memorial Baptist Church, meet your teacher, and get information on bus transportation, the Mainline Health Clinic, Little Scholars after school program, and RPI Behavioral Health. We can't wait to see you and get this school year started!
