Oak Crest Family Tiger Topics
May 3, 2024
Happy Friday Oak Crest Families!
Only 2 Fridays left this year, but over 25 special events including field trips, celebrations, and more! It will be a wild ride. Make sure you are informed so your child does not miss any of the fun!
Next week, our book fair is open and it is BOGO (Buy one, get one free). Check with you child's teacher for which day they get to shop. Get those books on the cheap for summer reading!
Enjoy the sunshine and don't forget about the Ninja Event on Monday!
Have a great weekend! Be RED!

Please consider thanking and celebrating teachers in one of these ways:
* Add a note to this Padlet by clicking this link and sharing a post, a picture, or an example of how they have helped your child or family.
* Bring a treat or dessert for teachers the week of May 6-10 using this Sign Up Genius Link.

NINJA ANYWHERE - May 2nd, 2024
We have less than 30% of our kids with a waiver completed. Do this today!
Most of our students have a waiver on file. Students should dress ready to be active!
We are ready to crush the Ninja course. This is a closed event. Parents can check it out starting at 3:30pm after school.
ALL Oak Crest students must use this link for our Ninja Day Waiver:

**If you want extra time on the ninja course for your Oak Crest student, or for a younger sibling, or for yourself you are invited to "Ninja After Hours" from 3:30-5:30 after school. To participate in this extra time we are requiring an additional $10 fee per person and all children need an adult present to supervise. If you plan to attend the "Ninja After hours" and are not an Oak Crest student, you will still need a waiver. Non-Oak Crest students use this link and waiver:

TIGER TARGET (April 29-May 3): I can identify what I want to be remembered for.
What is important to you now? What do you think will be important to you when you are an adult?
Everyday, every minute, you are leaving an impact on every person you encounter. Sometimes you leave a good feeling. Sometimes it is a negative interaction. What do you want to be remembered for? Think about how you want to be remembered sot that you can purposefully act in a way that creates the legacy you want to leave!
Summer School
*If you are registered, you will hear from your summer school teacher before the end of the school year by email. Thank you!
