Oak Grove Elementary School’s 50th anniversary celebration took place last week, featuring a parade, music from the Hidden Valley Middle School band and other festivities. Students sang two special songs – “Possibilities” and “I Like School,” written by Teresa Jennings and “jazzed up” for the occasion by music teacher Gloria Howell. The event ended with the viewing of a video montage featuring former and current staff and teachers, as they recounted their days at Oak Grove, located along Route 419 in southwest Roanoke County.
