Celebrating 123 Years: Back-to-School Extravaganza Kicks Off 2024-25 School Year

  • Posted August 27, 2024

Oak Lawn-Hometown School District 123 welcomed families for the annual Back-to-School Extravaganza on Saturday, August 24 at Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School. Attendees from the Oak Lawn and Hometown communities were in for a treat as the District celebrated the start of its 123rd year in operation.

Families watched in wonder as Tim Hannig performed thrilling magic tricks in the OLHMS cafeteria before heading over to the lawn to see the reptile show from Crosstown Exotics. Lucky volunteers could even pet the turtles, lizards, snakes, and other reptiles before dancing to the tunes of Gincy Hartin and jumping in the inflatables.

 

Community partners set up tables in the gym to share information about the resources available to families in the area. When attendees visited the vendors, they could be entered in a prize drawing at their school’s PTA/PTO/PTSA table to win a basket full of school spirit wear. 

First Student also provided the opportunity for families to paint a school bus with creative designs or their names. 

In hosting this event, D123 showcased its commitment to community engagement, social connection, and fostering a supportive, welcoming environment for its students and families as they embark on a new school year.
