During B-block on Thursday, January 11th, Oakmont Regional High School welcomed eighth grade students from Overlook Middle School, giving them tours of the building and hosting a club fair to encourage involvement. Eighth grade students were walked around the school by high school tour guides, and went to numerous stops. At these stops, student “experts” would talk about the location and its importance. The tours were run by the Student Advisory Council (SAC), and members of Student Council and Peer Leaders also helped out.

The club fair was held in the hallway by the auditorium and cafeteria. Representatives from each club set up a small table, with a poster or something engaging on it. When students approached the table, the representatives would explain how their club works.

Overall, the club fair and tours were successful at Oakmont. The school can’t wait until the Class of 2028 walks the halls every day!
