The rain couldn’t stop our kindergarten cowboys and cowgirls from showing off their rodeo spirit! 🤠 Despite the weather on April 25th, the annual Kindergarten Rodeo was a rootin’-tootin’ success — moved indoors but full of fun!
Students rotated through exciting events like the sack race, hay hauling, egg race, horseshoes, flag race, and barrel race! Yeehaw for making memories, rain or shine! 🌧️🐎

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!

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
