Walking Oaks & Active Acorns
Dawn Richards, Community Health Nurse at Southern Ohio Medical Center, visited the Active Acorns Winter Team’s meeting and taught the students about healthy eating and the importance of physical activity. The students always enjoy her fun and interactive presentations. SOMC is one of the sponsors of the Active Acorns Club at OHES.
OHES Souper Bowl 2018
The 2018 OHES Souper Bowl was a super success, with 2,809 food items collected for the Growing Oaks Food Program and the Oak Hill Food Pantry. The winning class with the highest donation was Mrs. Mullins 5th grade with 380 items collected and second place went to Mrs. Hale’s 4th grade class with 255 items collected. These two classes win special parties from the Oaks United Directors Cheryl Lovett, Marsha McCorkle, and Alicia Lloyd. The donation collected on February 2 exceeded the Fall Food Drive by over 1,000 items. Great job, OHES students, parents, and staff!Active Acorns 2nd Session
The second session of the OHES Active Acorns began on January 24, and Scott King taught the 38 members Krav Maga defense training. Scott’s presentation is always well received and very popular with the Acorns. Scott teaches Krav Maga at the YMCA, as well as conducts seminars at area schools and churches. We appreciate his enthusiasm for the Active Acorns Club!
