Great Kindness Challenge
The need for kindness and unity is greater than ever, so Oster will participate in the Great Kindness Week again this year. This week intends to focus on kindness and see it permeate our campus culture, off school grounds, and into our local community.
Throughout the week teachers will be promoting acts of kindness and providing students with different lessons. For creative and simple ways your family can participate, check out the video below and print the Kindness Checklist for helpful tips and examples.
By the end of the week, I would like to celebrate all the wonderful things our community did. Please consider sharing with us by uploading a picture or video to THIS FOLDER. The more, the better.

Childcare at Oster
Oster Clubhouse, operated by LGS Recreation, has been closed this year due to low enrollment. LGS Recreation has decided to end its childcare services at Oster for the rest of the year. Our district currently offers the Extended Care program at several other sites. We are very excited to announce that the district can provide the Extended Care program at Oster. Please look for more details soon.
