November is a season of gratitude, reflection, and community. As we move into the holiday season, I want to thank you for your continued support of our students, teachers, and school programs. Our fall semester has been full of learning, laughter, and growth, and it’s not over yet! This month brings exciting events that remind us what makes Oakview so special: the energy of our Boosterthon Fun Run, the longstanding presence of Oakview as we celebrate our 30th anniversary, the joy of welcoming grandparents for Grandparent’s Day, and the spirit of giving through our Toy Drive. Each of these moments highlights the heart of our community, working together for our children.
Thank you for partnering with us in making Oakview a safe, joyful, and thriving place for all students. I am truly grateful for our staff, families, and the incredible children who fill our halls with curiosity and kindness every day.
