Dear Wildcats,

As part of our ongoing strategic plan for facilities, Bright Local Schools is hosting a special presentation on a potential capital project involving the installation of artificial field turf at Whiteoak Junior/Senior High School.

This presentation will take place at the February 19th Board Meeting, held at Whiteoak High School at 6:00 PM in the cafeteria. All stakeholders are welcome and encouraged to attend to hear more about this project and its potential impact on our school and community.

We look forward to your participation and input!
