Back to School Splash
Students of Oak Mountain Intermediate School enjoy a waterslide at the 2014 Back to School Splash.
Oak Mountain Intermediate School sponsored a Back to School Splash community and fundraising event. On a day that reached 100 degrees, area students and their families cooled off on water slides and enjoyed amusement park-style rides, crafts and refreshments during the eighth annual event.
Splash provided families with the opportunity to meet as Inverness Elementary and Oak Mountain Elementary students merged into the intermediate school.
Faculty members and their families enjoyed the day’s festivities as well including School Resource Officer, “Officer Mel” Janousek and his children. Oak Mountain Middle School National Junior Honor Society members and Oak Mountain High School students volunteered to earn community service hours while local businesses showcased their products and services.
“It truly was a day of communal involvement and lasting relationships were built working and playing together,” said Rebecca Sandidge, a parent of two Oak Mountain students.
