Pre-K Graduation Day was filled with pride, joy, and the sweetest memories! 🎓 Our littlest Rockets kicked off the celebration with salutes, the school creed, the Pre-K creed, and a heartwarming performance of Big, Big Dreams — followed by the Kindergarten Here We Come poem. Each student had their special moment, shaking hands with Mrs. Foster and Dr. Johnson and receiving a rose from Mrs. Booker. The slideshow had everyone smiling (and tearing up just a little)! The seed has been planted… now watch it grow. These amazing Rockets are ready to soar into Kindergarten! 🚀 Mrs. Parish is so proud of how far they’ve come and all they’ve accomplished this year. #PreKGraduation #KindergartenHereWeCome #BigBigDreams #LittleRocketsBigHearts #ProudToBeARocket 🚀 #OakdaleMoments

As former Oakdale band member Tanner Morgan said during Tuesday night’s performance — ‘It is magical.’ And magical it was! Over 40 alumni band members joined our 7th and 8th grade band for an unforgettable performance of The Greatest Showman. The evening was also a heartfelt tribute to Mr. Scott, honoring his passion, time, and deep commitment to his students and the Oakdale community. Mr. Lanier stepped in as 'relief' for Dr. Johnson to reflect on Mr. Scott’s incredible legacy. Mr. Scott was presented with a special trophy from Mr. Berryman — one to take home, and another to be placed in the school’s trophy case as a lasting tribute. Alumni student Chandler Morrison also awarded him a plaque on behalf of all former band members. Mrs. Snyder closed the evening with a warm invitation for all to attend a reception at River Oaks, hosted by parents and community members, in celebration of Mr. Scott’s retirement. Thank you, Mr. Scott, for your years of dedication. Your legacy will continue to inspire for years to come. Enjoy your well-earned retirement — you will be deeply missed! #AlwaysARocket #OakdaleBand #ThankYouMrScott #MagicalMoments #LegacyOfExcellence
