NOVEMBER 15, 2022 - SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS' DAY Thank you - Oakwood School Board Members As Superintendent, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to one of the hardest-working groups of volunteers in the community. The Oakwood Community Unit School District No. 76 Board of Education is elected by the community to represent the values and people of the community in the oversight and direction setting of the schools. We are blessed to have such a dedicated group of individuals who voluntarily give hours each month to fulfill their roles to do what is in the best interest of our students.

Our thoughts, respect, and appreciation go out to all of our Veterans on this special day to honor all who have served our Country. Things to do and say to honor America's heroes. 1. Put out an American Flag 2. Express your thanks to a Veteran in words and deeds. 3. Talk to your family about Veteran family members. 4. Stand for the National Anthem 5. Fulfill your obligations and responsibility for the rights that have been protected and preserved for future generations.
