👀🌿 Wait… Who’s That? I Can’t See You! 😂
Our Rockets are camoed out and ready to stay drug-free! 🪖💚 We’re hiding in plain sight, but standing strong when it comes to making healthy choices and saying NO to drugs! The students enjoyed three awesome assemblies with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN). Students learned about the dangers of drugs, the importance of having the courage to say NO to ALL drugs, and how OBN works to help keep our communities safe.
One important reminder: Parents, YOU are your child's biggest and best advocate! Keep the conversations going, encourage awareness, and remind your children that they never have to give in to peer pressure or accept something just because someone says it's okay.
Thank you, OBN, for investing in our students and helping our Rockets make safe, healthy choices! ❤️

Our students are gearing up for the state engineering competition in February! They put their engineering skills to the test by building hurricane-proof houses—and when Hurricane Hensley (aka a leaf blower! 😄) hit Oakdale, every house survived! 💪🏠
We’re proud of our future engineers! 🔬✨ Just another way OSF supports our teachers and students in the classroom! 🙌

🦋🌿 A BIG MILESTONE FOR OAKDALE OUTDOORS CLUB! 🚀
Our students tagged and released their first monarch butterfly! 🦋 Students carefully measured its wing length, recorded its gender and location, placed an identifying tag on the butterfly, and released it into our school garden. 🌼
We will submit data to Monarch Watch to help researchers track the fall migration and learn more about these incredible pollinators! 🌎🦋
A special THANK YOU to OSF for funding our pollinator-friendly plants and helping us create learning opportunities that make a difference! 💚🌸

💃 We also welcomed the Elevate Dance Crew for an exciting assembly with our 4th–8th graders. Through dance and movement, students were reminded to take care of their bodies, make healthy choices, and stay active so they can feel their best and do their best! 🎶✨

📚✨ Inspiring Readers and Writers at Oakdale! ✨📚
We were honored to welcome author Dusti Bowling back to Oakdale! Our 7th and 8th graders enjoyed hearing about her new YA novel, The Drowning Game, and learning the steps to becoming a writer. What a wonderful way to inspire our students to read, imagine, and explore their own storytelling abilities!
A special thank-you to Best of Books for bringing this author visit to Oakdale and to OSF for helping make it possible by purchasing multiple copies of The Drowning Game for our school library, giving students opportunities to check out the book and enjoy it through book clubs.
We are grateful for these partnerships that continue to foster a love of reading and writing in our Rockets! 🚀📖

📚🚀 Reading, Writing, and Bringing Stories to Life!
After diving into the story, students use their creativity to work by writing their own narratives imagining what it would be like to be a character at Camp Green Lake! 🏜️✏️
What better way to understand literature than to immerse yourself in the story? By combining reading and writing, students strengthen their comprehension, explore characters, and bring their own ideas to life.
Way to go, sixth graders, and Mrs. Cone for making learning meaningful and fun! 📖
A huge thank-you to our amazing OSF for providing our sixth graders with a class set of Holes by Louis Sachar for their novel study!

👑 King George Has Entered the Classroom! 🎭
What better way to bring history to life than a visit from King George himself?! Our Civics students got a unique opportunity today to learn how HE might have felt when the colonies declared their independence. And to make the lesson even more memorable, Mr. Burns performed “You’ll Be Back” from the hit musical Hamilton! 🎶
Who says learning history can’t be entertaining? This creative combination of civics and the arts gave our students a fun, engaging way to connect with the past and see history from a different perspective. A special shout-out to Mr. Burns for bringing the performance to life and making learning an experience our Rockets won't soon forget! 🚀
Huge thanks to OSF for providing costumes, sound equipment, and support for our theatre program! Their generosity is another way OSF helps create incredible, memorable learning experiences for our Rockets! 🚀
