Last week a number of prominent local politicians and leaders of local non-profit groups stopped by Oak Park and River Forest High School for the school’s first Civics Service Learning Fair. Congressman Danny Davis, State Senate President Don Harmon, State Representatives Camille Lilly and La Shawn Ford, and Oak Park Village President Vicki Scaman all attended the event. About 550 OPRF juniors and seniors are taking civics this semester.“You don’t have to have gray hair before you engage,” Congressman Davis told the students, according to a news release from OPRF. “There are many places in history where very young people got things changed, made things happen. You’re that group today.”The purpose of the fair was to give students ideas about how they could fulfill the five hours of community service that is required of each student for graduation from OPRF and to inspire them to become involved in civic life.
