Active Acorns Kick Off
This is the 8th year for the Active Acorns Club at OHES. The 37 members of the Fall 2019 Team edition got off to an exciting start with Scott King teaching them Krav Maga self-defense. This is the fourth year Scott has visited the Active Acorns, and the students love this presentation so much. Scott does an excellent job, and the information he provides is so vital to children in today’s world.
