Huge thank you to Mr. Johnson for his work on this project and the team that assisted throughout the day! Our "creek" is now fully-lined with trees for future shade!

We had fantastic weather for our first ever Touch a Truck Event. Thank you to Mrs. Foulk (OES secretary) for her organization of this event and to Mrs. Potts (OES Instructional Assistant) for carrying out the event. Thank you to the OES faculty and staff who made the night possible and to all of the drivers and entities that brought their vehicles. The students LOVED it!

This year’s Berkeley County Relay for Life festivities will be located at the Berkeley 2000 Recreation Center on June 7th at 11:00am. One of the most powerful and emotional moments during the Relay For Life event is the Luminaria Ceremony. Each luminaria at the ceremony has its own unique story, decorated with the names of loved ones, and lit in honor and in memory of a life touched by cancer. I’ve attended the Luminaria Ceremony and it truly is a beautiful experience! 🕊️ 🕯️

Dedicate a luminaria today to a loved one lost, someone currently facing cancer, or anyone who has experienced a cancer journey. Your luminaria will shine bright at Relay For Life of Berkeley County.

DEDICATE MY LUMINARIA using the following link: https://secure.acsevents.org/site/SPageServer?pagename=relay_luminaria&PROXY_TYPE=21&PROXY_ID=103458&fr_id=109439&search=event

Each luminaria dedication can be made to support a participant, team, or Opequon’s Relay For Life event, so encourage your family members and friends to donate luminarias toward Opequon’s fundraising efforts. We want to light up our community with our luminarias, so the more dedications there are, the brighter we will shine in our fight against cancer. 🕯️✨🎗️
