Oakdale Elementary School

As former Oakdale band member Tanner Morgan said during Tuesday night’s performance — ‘It is magical.’ And magical it was! Over 40 alumni band members joined our 7th and 8th grade band for an unforgettable performance of The Greatest Showman. The evening was also a heartfelt tribute to Mr. Scott, honoring his passion, time, and deep commitment to his students and the Oakdale community. Mr. Lanier stepped in as 'relief' for Dr. Johnson to reflect on Mr. Scott’s incredible legacy. Mr. Scott was presented with a special trophy from Mr. Berryman — one to take home, and another to be placed in the school’s trophy case as a lasting tribute. Alumni student Chandler Morrison also awarded him a plaque on behalf of all former band members. Mrs. Snyder closed the evening with a warm invitation for all to attend a reception at River Oaks, hosted by parents and community members, in celebration of Mr. Scott’s retirement. Thank you, Mr. Scott, for your years of dedication. Your legacy will continue to inspire for years to come. Enjoy your well-earned retirement — you will be deeply missed! #AlwaysARocket #OakdaleBand #ThankYouMrScott #MagicalMoments #LegacyOfExcellence

We will be following a PM Assembly Schedule on Wednesday, April 30. If you are signed up to help as a Lunch Buddy, please double-check your schedule and plan accordingly. Thank you for your support and involvement!

Dear All, Please join us for a surprise retirement party for Mr. Scott tomorrow, April 29, immediately following the 7th/8th Grade Band Concert at River Oaks Golf Course. The celebration will run approximately from 7:15 PM to 9:30 PM. Please keep it a secret — Mr. Scott has no idea! We hope you can come help us celebrate his incredible career!

On Tuesday, the Oakdale faculty and staff came together to celebrate the retirement of two cherished members of our Rocket family — Bob Scott and Marlene Dunn. Their dedication, kindness, and impact on our school community have been truly remarkable. We wish them both the best as they begin this exciting new chapter — it’s so well deserved! Thank you for everything. Once a Rocket, always a Rocket! 🚀 #OakdaleFamily
