Teacher Appreciation Week at OC
This week was teacher appreciation week at Oak Crest! I hope you had the chance to show your gratitude in some format with your child's teachers. They work so hard and invest time, energy, and heart far beyond the school day. We are lucky to have a great staff. If you missed the chance this week, anytime is a good time to say thanks!
On that note, thank you to the OC families that shared some baked goods with us this week. Our teacher lounge was full of tasty treats that helped staff keep going during an exciting week of school! And thank you to the hundreds of students and parents that sent gratitude notes, emails, posts and more to teachers. It means a lot!
Have a great weekend! Be RED!

End of Year Reminders
As the school year comes to a close, the opportunities for fun and to make memories increase. It is essential that students continue to come to school ready to learn and meet our Be RED expectations. It can be hard for students to resist temptation to let excitement and emotion affect their choices. When they don't make the consistent choices we know they can, it usually has a negative impact on their learning, their relationships, or on the safety and happiness of others at Oak Crest
Please remind your students to continue to be leaders and have integrity in their choices. Each year we have students lose out on fun events because they are not able to meet school expectations and are either unkind, unsafe, or unfocused. We want our end of the year celebrations to include all of our Oak Crest students. Finish strong, Tiger Strong!
BPHS Students visited OC on Tuesday to lead a 4th grade Kindness Event!
Thanks to all of the students and families that attended the Be RED Breakfast!
