🌳📚 Oakdale loves Reading in the Park! This long-standing tradition brings Sequoyah books to life for our students. 🎭🎲

Our amazing 8th graders presented the books to 3rd and 4th graders using props, acting, games, and other creative activities to make it a truly memorable day! ☀️👏

Huge thanks to our 3rd, 4th, and 8th-grade teachers, along with Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Jones, for leading by example and making this special Rocket tradition shine! 🚀❤️
