Oakdale’s Aviation Club competed in the Speedfest competition at OSU recently, and what an incredible showing! ✈️🚀
These students dedicated the past 5 months to designing and building their own aircraft, taking on the challenge of competing against both middle and high school teams. Their hard work and perseverance paid off as they placed 6th out of 43 teams and earned Runner-Up for Best 1st Year Team! 👏
We are so proud of their commitment, teamwork, and innovation. The future of aviation is bright at Oakdale! 💙

🎵🌟 Talent Time in Mrs. Ford’s Music Class! 🌟🎵
It’s always a great day when students in Mrs. Ford’s music class get to share their special talents! From singing, piano playing, dancing, jokes, magic tricks, gymnastics, and so much more, students have the opportunity to shine in their own unique way. 🎹🎤🤸♀️🎩
Each student presents in front of their class, then classmates and Mrs. Ford can ask questions before the performer takes a well-earned bow! 👏✨
What a fun and meaningful way to build confidence, celebrate individuality, and encourage students to share their gifts with others. Great learning is happening in music class! 🚀💙

🔥🚀 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! 🔬✨

The highlight? Watching Mrs. Pitts and Mrs. Edwards brave the flames, students were absolutely wowed and amazed! 🔥👏

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.
