Our golfers have been hard at work this week. This morning was the perfect weather to be on the golf course!
This Saturday, Aug. 13th, OILER NATION is having a back to school event at the East Alton Wood River High School from 4:00-7:00 PM. As you arrive, you will be given a ticket to redeem for a free hotdog, chips, and a bottle of water. There will be a DJ, bounce house, community vendors, opportunities to sign up for athletic and clubs, and much more! There will be food available for purchase at a food truck and the Mobile Tropical Sno unit will be there. This is a great opportunity to come out and meet some of our OILER NATION community members and school staff that you will be seeing throughout the three districts.
A huge kudos to our outstanding maintenance crew today! They spent the entire day painting the new graphics on our amazing bermuda grass football field. It looks great!
Thank you to the Wood River Police Department and Wood River Fire Department for setting up the training for local first responders.
Football field painting has begun on our beautiful bermuda field. Also paid a visit to cheer and boys soccer practice today. Love to see all the activity around campus as we prepare for another school year!
