🎃📚 Our 5th graders brought reading to life with our Mysterious Book Project! Students chose a mystery or thriller, created a pumpkin inspired by their book, and shared their stories through fun book talks with classmates.
A big THANK YOU to the Oakdale School Foundation (OSF) for awarding a grant to help provide decorating supplies and make this creative learning experience possible! Great books, creative minds, and spooktacular pumpkins! 🎃

🚀 Learning NEVER Stops at Oakdale! 🔬🏎️
Our middle school science teachers, Mrs. Bray, Mrs. DuRegger, and Mrs. Hensley, recently had the opportunity to attend the NSTA Conference in Indianapolis! They returned with new ideas, exciting classroom lessons, and amazing ways to bring science and STEM learning to life.
One exciting takeaway? Exploring how STEM drives IndyCar Racing! What a fun way to connect real-world applications with classroom learning!
