Co-Op Sports - Aug 6, 09 |
Oak Grove is involved in a number of co-op sports with other schools.

The co-op fee that Shanley will assess is $100. Co-op fees will be billed to each family from Oak Grove’s Business Office. Any questions concerning co-op sports your student would like to enter into should be addressed to the Head Coach of each sport.
You may access information, including schedules, from Shanley on-line at the internet site www.viewmyschedule.com. Be sure to search using “Fargo Catholic Schools Network.”
