2023-24 Oak Glen Middle School Archery
We are pleased and very excited to bring NASP, National Archery in the Schools Program, to the students of Oak Glen Middle School. The first year was a success due in part to the cooperation & generosity of team members and parents. Our mission is simple, we want you to feel connected to our school while learning the knowledge and skills of a lifelong activity. All the extras are a plus, like having fun, developing your eye-hand coordination skills, improved self-confidence, and making new friends.
