On November 13, Oakwood School hosted an Open House for prospective students and their families as well as current Oakwood families who wanted to preview all the opportunities ahead. The day was a wonderful showcase of all Oakwood has to offer, with classroom demonstrations, student performances, and student-led campus tours. This event, the first on-campus Open House in nearly two years, was a true celebration for our school community. We were thrilled to welcome current and future Oakwood families to campus for this special day.

Oakwood will host one more Open House this school year–mark your calendar for Saturday, March 5, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM. Contact admissions@oakwoodway.org to RSVP.

Monday, August 23, was a great day at Oakwood School! Faculty and staff enthusiastically greeted students back on campus. Middle school and high school students arrived for their first day of classes. With eager anticipation, students met up with old friends and happily met new classmates as they found their way to their classes.

During Summer@Oakwood's "Olympics Week," campers celebrated the Olympics with themed activities and games. Our young students learned about the variety of sports that take place during the Summer Olympics and participated in their own Oakwood Olympic games! Children ran through obstacles courses, jumped over hurdles, and perfected their pool noodle javelin throw. During craft time, campers created paper plate medals and made handprint LED Olympic torches.

Campers in the Summer@Oakwood program recently had the opportunity to interact with Lower School Head and Principal, Mrs. Shales' farm animals! Mrs. Shales brought one of her goats and some of her chickens for the campers to meet. The children learned fun facts about each of the animals were taught about their particular needs and proper care. Campers enthusiastically asked questions as they pet and held the animals. The children also had fun sharing about their own pets with one another. Thank you, Mrs. Shales, for bringing your farm animals for our campers to enjoy!

Our Summer Explorers attending Summer@Oakwood enjoyed a fun-filled water playday on Friday, June 25! With perfect weather, our Junior Kindergarten through Second Grade campers splashed in mini pools, played in water tables, squirted each other with spray bottles, and ran through the sprinklers! We can't wait for more fun water days ahead at Summer@Oakwood!
