🔥🚀 Forces & Fire at Oakdale! 🚀🔥
A big thank you to OSF for providing our 3rd–5th graders with the Forces & Fire interactive presentation from the Science Museum of Oklahoma! 🔬✨
Students explored the three laws of motion—inertia, equal and opposite reactions, and acceleration—along with exciting demonstrations of combustion. 💨⚙️
The highlight? Watching Mrs. Pitts and Mrs. Edwards brave the flames, students were absolutely wowed and amazed! 🔥👏
What an unforgettable way to bring science to life! 🌟

Dear Rocket Community,
Due to the threat of severe weather, tonight’s Meet & Greet with our new superintendent, Kendall Still, has been rescheduled to take place at the May Board Meeting. Mr. Still travels from the Tulsa area, and we want to ensure his safety.
The regular School Board Meeting will continue as scheduled, including the seating of our new board member, Eric Davis.
We will also take time this evening to recognize and thank Caeli Williams for her years of dedicated service to the Oakdale Board of Education. Her impact on our school community has been significant, and we are grateful for her leadership.
Please stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
— Dr. J
