Our Pre-K graduates took the stage to celebrate a very special milestone as they completed the first step in their educational journey. From learning letters and numbers to building friendships, confidence, and a love for learning, these students have grown so much this year!
The smiles, songs, and proud moments shared during graduation reminded us just how bright their futures are. We are so proud of every one of these young Rockets and cannot wait to see all they accomplish as they head to kindergarten! 🚀💙
A special thank you to our amazing Pre-K teachers and families for nurturing, encouraging, and supporting these students throughout the year. The seed has been planted, and we know great things are ahead! 🌼📚✨ Congratulations, Pre-K Class of 2026! 🎉🎓💙

A total of 36 students in 6th-8th grade and 18 fifth graders qualified for the celebration during their lunch times. Students enjoyed their outings just before school was out. Students were treated to pizza, salad, noodles, dessert, and even had time to have fun in the arcade! 🎮🍪🥗
A huge thank you to Mrs. Jones, our middle school librarian, for the incredible work she does encouraging a love of reading at Oakdale. Her dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment to helping students discover great books continue to inspire students year after year. Opportunities like this are just one example of how she goes above and beyond to make reading exciting and rewarding for our students. 💚
Thank you to OSF for helping make this memorable experience possible for our readers!

Kindergarteners are glowing it up thanks to the “Special Days Grant” funded by OSF! ✨🌟
Each kindergarten class spent the day reviewing important skills from last semester, and OSF helped make learning extra fun with glow sticks, black lights, vests, hats, balloons, and glowing decorations. 💡🪩🎈😎
What a fun memory and creative way to make learning shine in a bright way! Way to go, kindergarten teachers and OSF, for creating such an exciting experience for our students! 💚🚀

Our third graders did a spectacular job on their Wax Museum presentations! Each student selected a famous person, researched their life and accomplishments, and prepared a short speech to share with visitors.
Guests visiting the museum had to press the red button on each student’s display to hear the “wax figure” come to life and speak. The students truly impressed everyone with their creativity, knowledge, and presentation skills.
Way to go, third graders! What a fun and memorable way to bring history to life for both the students and all the visitors to the museum. 💚🚀

These kindergartners had a blast with Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Hare on their OSF Kids Auction outing! From playtime at Whispering Heights Park in Edmond to sweet treats at Braum’s, the day was filled with smiles, laughter, and fun memories made together.🍧🛝
These special outings create lasting memories for our students and are another example of why OSF helps foster these kinds of experiences for Oakdale students. 💚🚀

Oakdale students showed what it truly means to serve others this year through their support of Friends of Jimmy Everest, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families navigate the difficult journey of childhood cancer. The organization works to support families, build connections, raise awareness, spread hope, and make a difference in the lives of children and their loved ones during challenging times.
Thank you to Theresa Green for coming to speak to our Builders Club about the organization, upcoming events, and what Friends of Jimmy Everest is all about. Hearing firsthand about the impact this nonprofit has on families made the students even more passionate about supporting the cause.
Through concessions, dances, lunch treats, halftime activities, and many other efforts throughout the year, Oakdale Builders Club worked hard to raise funds to support this important mission. Their dedication and compassion resulted in an amazing donation of $3,202 for Friends of Jimmy Everest.
Way to go, students and sponsors, for your hard work, servant hearts, and passion for helping others! Your efforts are making a difference for children and families who need support the most. 💚🚀

🌭☀️ We hope everyone is enjoying a “Hot Diggity Dog” kind of Memorial Day holiday as much as we enjoyed ours on the last day of school! 🇺🇸🚀
Our amazing cafeteria staff, led by Ms. Malisa and crew, made the final lunch of the school year extra special for students and teachers. Students enjoyed grilled hot dogs and homemade cookies — even students who brought lunchboxes got a sweet treat! 🍪❤️
Teachers were also spoiled with delicious grilled burgers prepared by our very own Todd Thomas, facilities manager, using beef from his R&R Ranch. 🍔👏
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the last day memorable and full of Rocket spirit! 💙❤️

From Pre-K through 8th grade, students and teachers lined the halls to cheer them on and celebrate their accomplishments. Following the walk, seniors enjoyed a special reception with their former Oakdale teachers thanks to the generosity of parents who helped make the event possible.
It was inspiring to see so many former Rockets who have gone on to excel in high school and beyond. Among this outstanding group were valedictorians, salutatorians, class presidents, StuCo presidents, and many other student leaders who continue to make us proud to have been part of their journey.
We wish the Class of 2026 continued success and happiness in all they do. No matter where life takes them, once a Rocket, always a Rocket! 🚀 #OakdaleRockets #ClassOf2026 #OnceARocketAlwaysARocket

Faculty and staff recently enjoyed a sweet retirement celebration honoring Dr. Johnson and Mrs. Padgett for their years of dedication and service to Oakdale. ❤️🚀
Mrs. Padgett’s journey at Oakdale began as an Oakdale mom with her two younger sons before returning to the classroom full-time and coaching volleyball. Through the years, she led many successful volleyball seasons and made a lasting impact, helping students strengthen their reading skills in her Reading Club class. She has been a steady source of encouragement and support to students and coworkers alike, always willing to lend a helping hand. Mrs. Padgett will certainly be missed, but we are excited for her as she begins this next chapter filled with fun, family, and relaxation.
Dr. Johnson has been a part of the Oakdale community for many years and has faithfully served as Superintendent for the past three years. His family legacy at Oakdale has continued with leadership, dedication, and deep respect for our students, faculty, and community. We are grateful for the confidence, vision, and leadership he brought to Oakdale during his time of service.
We wish both Mrs. Padgett and Dr. Johnson many happy years ahead, filled with travel, relaxation, and special memories with loved ones. Thank you both for the lasting impact you have made on Oakdale! 💙
Millie is a pro when it comes to serving others and scanning lunch cards! 🍕💳👏
She scanned lunch cards, helped turn over cards to teachers, survived Pizza Friday, and even got to enjoy lunch from the teachers’ lounge! 😄
Millie earned this special experience after winning the Cafeteria Crew Helper opportunity through the Oakdale School Foundation Kids Auction. Thank you to OSF for providing such a sweet opportunity to serve others and make fun memories along the way! ❤️🚀

🦁🐒🎡 Pre-K friends Luke Fuller and Caylum Garrett got to take a special friend to the zoo with Mrs. Parish and Mrs. Booker as part of the OSF Kids Auction winners' experience! 🐘💙
The boys had a good, animalistic time exploring the zoo, making memories, and even riding the carousel! 🎠✨
A huge thank you to OSF for the continued support they provide to our classrooms each day and for creating these unforgettable experiences for our students and teachers. We are so grateful! 🚀👏
