As 2024 winds down and we continue celebrating holidays, I want to extend my gratitude to our amazing students, dedicated staff, and supportive families. We've already accomplished so much together, and I am looking forward to what 2025 will bring! I'm incredibly proud of the growth of our students and their desire to learn. Observing the parent involvement in our classrooms and throughout the building this year has been truly inspiring. It reminds us how much we can achieve together for our children as a community. Please enjoy a safe and restful winter break with your loved ones. We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready to learn in the new year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Adams

Successful Food Drive
Thank you so much for contributing to Oak View’s Food Drive. Our school donated an impressive 573 pounds of food to help families in need during this holiday season. We deeply appreciate Ms. Giuseppe (Sixth Grade Student Leadership Sponsor), the Student Leadership Team, and all those who supported this meaningful community service. It will make a difference for those in our community.
