Main Street Oshkosh

Once again it is time for adults to prove whether or not they know more than a 5th grader! The Oshkosh Area United Way is hosting the 3rd annual event “Is Oshkosh Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Teams compete (with the help of local 5th graders) in this fun event, with the winner taking home a traveling trophy. The 2009 winner was Derby Molded Products, playing on behalf of Cerebral Palsy of Mideast Wisconsin, Inc.

This year’s event will be Saturday, March 20, from 4 to 6 p.m., at Lourdes High School. The event includes the 5th Grader competition, raffles, games and post-event pizza party. The event is our major fundraiser for the Imagination Library, a program that provides a new, age-appropriate book each month for Oshkosh children from birth to age five. There are several ways that you can support this worthwhile program, which promotes early learning and literacy for area children.
