What an awesome experience getting to have a virtual author visit with Lisa Yee! 💻📚 Since we didn’t have school on the snowy day she was originally scheduled to be at Oakdale, we were so thankful we could still connect with her online. ❄️✨
She had students completely captivated and adults laughing out loud from behind the screen 😂. Lisa Yee’s witty, dry humor and incredible storytelling made everyone want to keep listening.
Even through video, she shared her inspiring journey of always wanting to be an author—even if she took an unconventional path to get there. Her story was such a great reminder about persistence and following your heart 💛✍️.
It was also so fun to see the pictures she shared and learn about the research side of writing and how her work has taken her all over the world 🌍📖.
🎨 A special shoutout to our talented middle school artists—Leo Gospodarek, Elise Miller, and Sophia Reeves—who created their own versions of two of Lisa Yee’s book covers! She was so impressed with their creativity and artwork and loved seeing their interpretations. What an amazing connection between reading and art! 👏✨
A huge thank you to OSF for their continued support of our library and literacy programs! 🙌❤️

Fun was had by all at the Builders Club Winter Dance! ❄️💃🕺
Dancing, munching, and hanging out with friends was the theme of the night. 🎶🍪🥤
A huge shoutout to our officers and reps who helped decorate and stayed to clean up afterward — way to lead and serve! 👏✨
Thank you to all the parents who sent food and drinks, and to the sponsors and volunteers who continue to show up and help make these fun opportunities possible for our students. 💛🙌

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! ☕🍪😊

🏀 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
