5k Run/Walk Event
Next Friday, May 5th is one of our longest and most enjoyable Oak Crest traditions!
The 5k Run/Walk has our 4th/5th/6th graders running down to Chatfield, around the school, and back to the stadium through fire hoses, cheering fans, and more. It is an event that pushes students to be driven and becomes a experience of great pride as well.
Families are encouraged to participate by cheering along the route of the run, or join in and run with them! The run starts at 1pm!
We are asking families to sponsor their child in the run so that all kids can have a school "Tiger Strong" shirt and to help fund some of our end of the year field trips and celebrations. Use the forms below to help our school continue to create great memories for kids!
BOGO Bookfair May 1-5
The week of May 1, we will having our final book fair. The spring fair is special because it is "BOGO" (Buy one get one free!). Students will shop with their classes during Media time or before school at 7:35am. It is a great way to stock up on summer reading for our students! Check out the website to preview books or set up an E-Wallet. It is a great way to allow kids to shop in school without sending cash or check!
TIGER TARGET (May 1-5) : I can reflect and feel pride in my accomplishments.
Our Tiger Strong Focus this month is PRIDE. It has been a successful school year with a ton of growth, learning experiences, relationships, and memories. This week we hope you can slow down and reflect on all that you have accomplished. We hope that you can have a positive mindset and focus on the good, the accomplishments, and that brings you a sense of pride.
MCA Testing Schedule
Thank you for all that you have done to help MCA testing be a successful and accurate measurement of our students academic progress. We will spend next week finishing a few individual tests and 5th graders will be assessed in Science, May 9-11.
The end of the year does bring final projects, tests, and district assessments, so we still have a lot of hard work to do! Help your child stay engaged and driven to do their best!
