What a week! We’ve been absolutely showered with love ❤️ —desserts, massages, lunches, breakfasts, pizza from Oaks, drinks, flowers, boxes of goodies, recess duty coverage, and so much more. As faculty and staff, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing PTC for all the thoughtful gifts and kindness shown throughout Teacher Appreciation Week. And to our wonderful parents—thank you for your support, your generosity, and all the food, gifts, and help. We are truly grateful. You all are simply the best! #ProudtoBEaRocket🚀🚀

Their dedication makes a difference every day! Thank you for all you do, ladies! 💙👏

What an incredible turnout for our first Oakdale Art Showcase! A huge thank you to Mrs. Camp, Mrs. Keyser, and Mrs. Blevins for their hard work in creating such beautiful displays.
