There are many things students look forward to in a given school
year, but we have a few events that are truly signature! Our goal is for each
school year to have SOMETHING the students really, really, really look forward
to! The event has a reputation that precedes it!
In Kindergarten, it is the hatching of the chicks!
They learned so much before the eggs arrived, during the week long wait in the
incubator, and after the hatch! This is truly something special and an event no
child will forget. Our older students still make the journey to the
Kindergarten rooms during the hatching “season” to see the chicks!
What are some of Oakhill’s signature events? Here is a sampling…
Early Learners – Ms. Ferris and Mrs. Ely made sure the camping unit
came to life with tents, flashlights, roasted hot dogs, and smores!
First Grade – Mrs. Manley and Mrs. Parrack bring Hawaii to Oakhill
each winter – hula dancing, Hawaiian delights, and lava cakes!
Sixth Grade – Mrs. Newhouse leads the 6th grade in the
design and creation of a haunted house for all ages.
Eighth Grade – Mr. Feagles joins the newly graduated 8th
graders the last day of school on an afternoon adventure!
I haven’t listed all of our signature events – what do you believe
are Oakhill’s signature events each year? I would love to have you share your
thoughts… ask your students… see what stands out to you... each and every year!
