📚✨ Just a glimpse of the indelible difference being made in the lives of our 5th–8th graders! ✨📚
Book clubs continue to have a powerful impact—instilling a true love of reading and bringing stories to life for our Rockets. 🚀
Huge kudos to Mrs. Jones for the extra time, care, and dedication she pours into creating meaningful reading experiences for our students. This marked the final book club of the semester for Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Keyser, perfectly wrapped up with The Last Holiday Concert 🎶📖 book club.
Reading is more than words on a page—it’s connection, curiosity, and joy. 💛

Our 4th grade students brought their fictional narrative characters to life!
Working together in art class with Ms. Camp, students created claymation characters to match the characters from their fictional narratives. This project was a fantastic crossover between art and language arts, allowing students to see their stories take shape in a tangible, creative way.
Mrs. Dunn’s featured characters, created by Ms. Camp, include Drew and Daisy (brother and sister), the Snowmonster, and Sugar Plum the Fairy. 🎭🖌️📚

Even though Christmas is over, it’s still the perfect time to share memories!
Our Builders Club enjoyed time together before the break with a pizza lunch, Christmas music, and some cookie decorating. This year, they’ll be working to support Friends of Jimmy Everest Center, and we’re excited for the impact they’ll make.
Be on the lookout for upcoming events and ways you can support or encourage our Builders Club—their service and leadership will make a meaningful difference this year.🍕🍪❤️

Even though Christmas has passed, this moment is too sweet not to share. Our Pre-K friends cuddled up on the rug to enjoy ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, soaking in the magic of a favorite holiday story. Mrs. Parish and Mrs. Booker have a special way of creating meaningful moments and memories that make Pre-K extra magical. Moments like these make the season unforgettable. ❤️🎄

Mrs. Harrison’s 4th-grade GT class is tapping into their creativity!
Students designed and created their own games from start to finish, then shared the fun by playing them with their classmates. From clever concepts to thoughtful rules and problem-solving, these GT students demonstrated that creating is learning, and learning happens best through doing. Their innovation, collaboration, and critical thinking were on full display!🎲✨🚀

Oakdale had a very Grinchy week heading into Christmas break!
From Hawaiian Day to Grinch Day—and even a visit from the Grinch himself—to classroom parties, it was a full week of fun, laughter, and holiday cheer. What a great way to wrap up the semester!💚🎄✨
