Parking Lot Parade: Wrap Up
A HUGE thank you to all of our families, students, and staff who were able to come out for our parking lot parade on Saturday. It was great to see so many familiar faces that we haven't seen in awhile and see all of the decorated cars and posters! You can see some of the pictures below from Saturday's parade. Yesterday was another reminder that no matter what happens we will remain strong and committed to each other as an Oak Ridge family. #mustangstrong
