UPDATE FOR THE SOFTBALL STATE SENDOFF: We are moving the softball team send off to 12pm Sunday. We hope to see everyone line the streets and wish them well as they make the trip to Springfield to the State Championship.
Good afternoon BlueJay Fans. I am officially inviting you and the rest of the Oak Ridge Community to help us send off the Oak Ridge Softball Team by lining the streets and wishing these girls the best of luck at the State Games. We will be pulling out of the school parking lot on Sunday, 5/25 at 12:30pm. We are very proud of the girls and all they have accomplished this year and would love for you to help us send them off to state in style. I will send out game times and information either this afternoon or tomorrow morning regarding the state games.
We are headed to Springfield. Please help me congratulate the softball team for beating South Pem 14-1 in the quarterfinal game and earning a trip to play in the State Championship Games! We are so proud of you girls!
Thank you to Pam Friedrich and the John Guild Chapter (Jackson) of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) for donating $100 in books to the Oak Ridge Elementary Library !! These books will help our students gain a better understanding of the events surrounding the American Revolution. We appreciate your generosity.
