Ms. Malissa is always doing for others. Today is another example of her going above and beyond. Spinozi, from the Sports Animal, came to read to students while they enjoyed a homemade cookie. Students collected coins since Monday and over $600 was raised. Money raised goes to Spinozi's 12 Days of Christmas toy drive! Way to go Rockets and thank you to Ms. Malissa for all you do at Oakdale and others!
The faculty & staff are so grateful for the special time together on Friday for our Christmas luncheon. Thanks just doesn't encompass the gratitude for class coverage, the meal, desserts, gifts, and games.
Thank you to ALL the parents that made it possible to have this time together as a faculty!
Oakdale is a special place to work. Much appreciation for your time and talents on display with PTC. We felt the love and appreciation!
It's great to be a Rocket!
