Today, we brought along a very special member of our welcome crew—Rocky! He loved meeting some of our newest Rockets and helping us welcome them to the Oakdale family. 💙

There’s nothing better than seeing our community excited to welcome new families. We’re so glad you’re here!

📚🌱 Mystery solved... and a new adventure begins! 🕵️♀️🪴
Our incoming 4th graders read Growing Home by Beth Ferry and gathered on July 8 for a fun-filled Book Club with Mrs. Branscum and Mrs. Dunn! 💙🚀
Students worked together to complete an exciting escape room featuring five puzzles inspired by the characters from the story. 🧩📖 After solving each challenge, they uncovered a secret message inviting them to join Arthur's Mystery Society and meet their new plant friends! 🌿🔍✨
What a fantastic way to keep reading, thinking, and collaborating all summer long! We can't wait to see these readers back at Oakdale this fall! ❤️💙

Our 6th-8th Grade Summer Book Club had an unforgettable adventure with A Hero's Guide to Summer Vacation! 📚☀️🚗
Students brought the story to life by creating journals just like the main character, decorating United States-shaped cookies with icing and M&Ms to trace the family's road trip across the country, and testing their knowledge with a fun game of Jeopardy! They also enjoyed pizza and drinks while sharing their favorite parts of the book. 🍕🍪🇺🇸🎉
Hands-on activities like these help students make meaningful connections to what they read while fostering a lifelong love of reading. A big thank you to everyone who helped make this fun-filled day possible! Keep reading, Rockets! We can't wait to see where the next book takes you! 🚀📚💚

Oakdale Band Students Riley Rhin, Eve Phillips, Silas Weaver, and Roscoe Ingram represented our school well by attending the SWOSU Middle School Band Camp this week! The camp consisted of four days of music-making and fun activities that culminated with a Wednesday afternoon concert. Way to go, Rockets! 🚀
Our 5th Grade Summer Book Club had a fantastic time diving into Gus and Glory! 📚🐾
Students brought the story to life through puzzle races, table topics, a memory game, cookie decorating, prizes, and even a special visit from a real bloodhound! They also enjoyed pizza and plenty of fun with fellow readers. 🍕🐶🍪🏆
A special thank you to Jill Clark for providing the cookies that made the day even sweeter!
This memorable experience was made possible through an OSF grant, helping create opportunities that foster a love of reading and bring books to life for our students. 💚Keep reading, keep learning, and keep it up, Rockets! 🚀📚

Fifth graders brought back an Oakdale tradition with a twist—Kite Day! 🪁💨
Instead of traditional kites, students designed and built their own sled kites before heading to the football field to see them soar. It was a great opportunity to put science into action while learning about flight, wind, and engineering principles.
What a fun way to end the school year with hands-on learning, fresh air, and plenty of smiles! Way to go, fifth graders! 🚀💚
