Welcome Back
Welcome back to Oak Grove High School for the 2001-2012 school year!! I am looking forward to another great year!! I will be updating our activities here, as well as in a Google Calendar to help you stay up to date with events that are coming up. Once I get the dates for all of our Special Olympic events, I will send you the link to the calendar.

Some food for thought
So, it appears that our summer is quickly passing by. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and having a safe one!!
It appears that we will not be participating in as many Special Olympic and Community-based Instruction activities this school year, due to budget constraints. However, I will try to make sure we have the same level of experiences, just on a smaller scale. One of the things that is in danger of being cut is the Exceptional Prom. I know how much we all look forward to this. I hope that we can join with Hueytown High and McAdory to have our own Prom at one of the schools. We may try to do it during the school day, as the Exceptional Prom has been done, or we may try to have an evening event. I know enough musicians that I think we can get a live band to play, volunteering their time. Parent's I will need you to help with providing food or finding someone to donate food. While we will be planning for April or May, we need to start planning ASAP!!

March 6, 2011
This week 7 members of our class and I will be going to Montgomery for the State competition in Special Olympics Basketball. This is an overnight trip!!! There will be a substitute at school with Mrs. Richards and the few students that are not going on this trip.
Some reminders for those attending the trip: We will leave school at 8:30 on Thursday morning. Be at school, with your luggage. Parents should bring any medicine and make sure you give that directly to me!! Students will need money for lunch on Thursday and for the hotel vending machine. All other meals will be provided. Please make sure you pack all needed personal hygiene items and remember the tennis shoes for competition. We will be wearing our uniforms for competition, but your child will need clothing to change into after the games on Friday!!
We have Special Olympic Soccer this month also. This event will be March 24h.
Several have asked about the Exception Prom. That event will be April 12 at the BJCC Grand Ballroom. Please be thinking about dresses and formal wear. If you need assistance finding the appropriate clothing for your child, let me know. We have access to some items.
