Mrs. Jones, middle school librarian, hosted a Bring Your Own Book Book Club for our sixth graders during lunch and recess! 📖💛
Students brought a book they had recently read and shared it with the group, giving everyone some great new reading ideas. 📚✨
Hot chocolate, sweet treats, and lots of book talk made it the perfect midday break! ☕🍪😊

Oakdale is so fortunate to have two amazing school counselors, Mrs. McCarty and Mrs. Sizemore! 💛✨
They are the warm encouragers of Oakdale—making sure every student feels seen, valued, and heard. 🌟
During National School Counselors Appreciation Week, we want to say a big THANK YOU for your constant support, encouragement, and for reminding us daily of the power of kindness in our world. 💐💙

🏀 Last night, we honored our 8th-grade Rockets at their final regular-season home game.
This season required perseverance, commitment, and showing up even when it was hard. These players continued to work, compete, and support one another through challenges, and that effort matters.
We’re proud of how they represented Oakdale and wish them the best as they move forward. 🚀#ProudtobeaRocket

🎒📅 Reminder! School resumes tomorrow, Tuesday, January 20.
Today we recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day and celebrate his lasting impact.
Our 8th-grade students continue the long-standing tradition of Book Buddies with their 1st-grade counterparts. We love seeing our oldest Rockets step into leadership roles—reading, mentoring, and setting wonderful examples of the importance of literacy in our daily lives.
Moments like these show what it truly means to be part of the Oakdale community. 🚀✨
