Residents are invited to attend the fun-filled back to school event later this Summer.
Orland Township hopes to get everyone ready to get back to school this August by holding their annual Back-To-School Health Fair, proudly presented by Supervisor Paul O’Grady and the Board of Trustees!
The fair, which will take place on August 14th, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., will be held at Orland Township; located at 14807 S. Ravinia Ave., Orland Park, IL.
“Making sure our youth return to school healthy and ready to learn is more important than ever after this past year,” said Supervisor O’Grady.
“Support for our school-children, parents, and teachers needs to be easily accessible. We hope to provide that and even more support at our Back-To-School Health Fair this August. After all, we’re still in this together.”
