ORLAND PARK, IL — Orland Township hopes to get everyone ready to get back to school 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 Sunday, July 28, 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.

“Students will be back in school before we know it,” said Supervisor Paul O’Grady. “Support for our schoolchildren, parents, and teachers must be easily accessible. We're making sure that's available, along with some fun extras, at our Back-To-School Health Fair this July.”
