WE NEED YOUR HELP! The current count of donations that have been made at Whiteoak are at 41. That’s only 9 away from earning grant money for the school (see attached document below). This year, Hoxworth is allowing donations to be made at their other donation centers to count towards the grant program. If 9 people would be willing to donate at one of the other centers before May 31^st and say they are donating for “Whiteoak HS”, Hoxworth will send a check to the Whiteoak High School.

Deadlines for students registering for Ohio Business Week are coming up soon. May 15th is the final day of the early bird discount and May 31st is the final registration day. It’s not just “Business Students” that should attend Ohio Business Week. With the emphasis on leadership, team-building, public speaking and more, all students benefit from attending the program. Plus students get to test-run college life!
