We had the pleasure last night to present an award 🥇 to Mr. James Booth for his dedicated years of service as a mentor and volunteer to Crooked Oak. His daughter, Dr. Jalisha Booth, accepted the award in his honor. After Mr. Booth’s passing she started a foundation in his name to help support student athletes through mentorship and scholarship. We are happy to know she continues his valuable legacy of helping the community! 💝

Welcome back and Happy New Year, Ruf-Nex! We look forward to another great year! Comment below your New Year's Resolutions for your entire family.
Example: Get Unplugged
These days, we spend so much time with electronics. When was the last time you spent a day without watching TV or staying glued to your cell phone? Set a goal of spending at least one day a month (if not per week) without your phone and instead, enjoy the outdoors, a board game, or a good book!
