Oak Ridge Family Focus
December 9th Edition
The Oak Ridge Giving Tree
The Student Council will be sponsoring the collection of warm hats, gloves, scarves, and socks to decorate the tree outside the Oak Ridge main office. We welcome you to bring in any of these items and hang them on the tree. These items will go to any families in need here at Oak Ridge and to the PADS/Beds Plus programs for the homeless in our area. Thank you for your support in helping families in need this winter season.

Hippotherapy for Students with Special Needs
"Hippotherapy is a mounted activity utilizing the unique movement patterns of the horse. It is implemented by a PT, OT, or Speech Therapist. The child is not learning riding skills, but is gaining improvements in muscle tone, strength, postural control, balance, and coordination from weight shifts and postural displacement created by the unique horse's gait."
