Just a reminder - Thursday, August 6th is PTC’s first event of the year, Popsicles in the Park!
PTC will be serving popsicles from 6:00 - 7:00 pm at the Launchpad Playground (behind the school) for all new and returning families.
This is a great time to reconnect with friends or make instant connections with families in your grade level(s) if you are new to Oakdale.
There will also be food trucks on-site, with food available for purchase. So make plans to get dinner while you are there and stay while.
PTC hopes to see you there!
☀️ What Have Our Teachers Been Up To This Summer? 🚀
While summer is winding down, our Oakdale teachers have been making the most of their time—traveling, spending time with family, learning new skills, volunteering, preparing their classrooms, and creating memories along the way!
Here's a peek at what a few of our amazing teachers have been up to this summer. ❤️💙
📸 Now it's your turn! We want to see what our Oakdale families have been up to, too. With almost two weeks of summer left, drop a favorite summer photo in the comments and show us the memories you've made! Whether you've been traveling, reading, swimming, camping, or simply enjoying time together, we'd love to celebrate your summer adventures.

Our 6th-8th Grade Summer Book Club had an unforgettable adventure with A Hero's Guide to Summer Vacation! 📚☀️🚗
Students brought the story to life by creating journals just like the main character, decorating United States-shaped cookies with icing and M&Ms to trace the family's road trip across the country, and testing their knowledge with a fun game of Jeopardy! They also enjoyed pizza and drinks while sharing their favorite parts of the book. 🍕🍪🇺🇸🎉
Hands-on activities like these help students make meaningful connections to what they read while fostering a lifelong love of reading. A big thank you to everyone who helped make this fun-filled day possible! Keep reading, Rockets! We can't wait to see where the next book takes you! 🚀📚💚
