Message from Ms. Do

Dear Families,

Happy New Year! We hope your children feel rested and rejuvenated after two weeks off with family. I visited lunches today, and the energy was so positive. Students were cheerful and happy to reunite with peers and staff. We are excited to be with students again.


Have a wonderful week!

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.

5th Grade Bottle & Can Drive

Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday and had lots to celebrate. And if you celebrated with any cans or bottles, we kind of hope you totally saved them! Our BottleDrop Fundraiser has raised over $600 this fall! That is the most in Oak Hills history! But we know we are just getting started.


We are setting up a drop day at Oak Hills for January. In the meantime, a few 5th grade families have offered to do pick-ups and offer their driveways as a drop-off point. Feel free to use the BottleDrop Location on the west side of Tanasbourne Target or west side of Fred Meyer.

Lunch Club Update: Lego Challenge Club

Starting this week (until Feb 11th), Tuesday Lunch Club for ALL grades will be Lego Challenge Club. There will be a small building challenge for students to complete in a certain amount of time and then they will be able to show off their creation! Sign ups to help with lunch clubs will be on Parent-Square.
