Oak Hills Newsletter

Dear Oak Hills Families,

We hope you had a restful Fall Break and holiday weekend! It was wonderful to welcome students back to school today. They shared sweet stories about family time, what they ate, down time, and other memories. Look forward to hearing more this week.

A reminder to students to bundle up to school. The days are chilly now-- coats, beanies, and gloves can be really comforting when they are at recess or walking to and home from school. Please label the items with your child's name. We can reunite the loose items or coats much more quickly if left behind at recess or the classroom.

One of the highlights of the week will be the Winter Music Showcase! Ms. Boling and Teacher Sally have joyfully prepared students for a lovely performance on Wednesday. Rehearsals started today; students are ready to show off their learning. We look forward to welcoming families and guests of our 4th/5th graders and students in Ms. Therrien's ALC class.

The Book Fair kicks off this week! Thank you in advance for supporting the Oak Hills library.

On Friday, the PTO hosts our Family Movie Night. More details below in the PTO section. It's always fun to see students excited to hang out at their school and gym with family and friends. Bring a comfy blanket/chair to this family event! Concessions will be available.

A reminder that there will be no school for students on Monday, December 9th.

Have a great week!

Sincerely,

Ms. Do

We’re thrilled to announce that registration is open for the Journey to STEAM after-school program at Oak Hills! This engaging program, perfect for students in grades K-5 (now open to Kindergartners!), combines STEM learning with fun LEGO projects. We’ve introduced new curriculum topics this term, so returning students will enjoy fresh and exciting content. Spaces are limited and fill up fast, so don’t miss out on this chance for your child to explore, learn, and create with Journey to STEAM.

Family Movie Night - Friday, December 6th

Join us on Friday, December 6th to watch the movie Migration. Doors will open at 5:45pm and the movie will start promptly at 6:15pm. The 5th Grade Celebration Team will be selling concessions, including PIZZA. All students, their families and friends are welcome. This is not a drop off event. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.

5th Grade Student & Adult Volunteers Needed for Movie Night

Our Friday movie night can’t happen without volunteers. Fifth grade students with an adult can sign up to help sell concessions. Concessions benefit the 5th Grade Celebration. See more information and sign up for a shift here.

Thank You - Bottle & Can Drive

Thank you to families who collected bottles/cans and dropped them off before Thanksgiving break to help benefit the 5th Grade Celebration. Keep saving your empty containers! Another drop off date in December is forthcoming. If you have questions or would like to arrange a pick-up/drop-off at a different time, email the 5th Grade Celebration team at vicepresident@oakhillspto.org.

5th Grade Celebration Fundraiser - Mapel Gives Back - December 5th

Mapel Boutique in Bethany Village will donate 20% of sales to the 5th Grade Celebration. Join us for some holiday shopping. Drinks and snacks provided from 4pm to 7pm.

Club Updates

Chill Chess Club (grades 3-5) and Friendship Bracelet Club (grades K-2) will continue to run on Tuesdays during lunch recess until Winter Break. Please sign up on Parentsquare if you would like to volunteer.

When we return from break in January, we'll have a 6-week session of Lego Challenge Club during lunch on Tuesdays for ALL grades. Students will be given a Lego challenge or game for the day and be able to play and build. Before the PTO uses funds to buy new Legos, we will be collecting donations of used and random building bricks (any kind, but no large Duplos please). Donations will be collected in the front office. Thank you!
