Operation Blessing
Operation Blessing is a district wide event that has helped West Deptford families in need to celebrate the holidays for years. Oakview Elementary works closely with the other WD district schools and the High School’s National Honor Society to bring holiday cheer to our local families. Oakview is reaching out to our community for help - please review the following attachment to learn ways in which your family may spread some holiday cheer this year.

Spirit Wear Update
Our vendor is putting the finishing touches on our Fall Spirit Wear order. We are expecting pickup to be within the next two weeks.
Teacher Conference Lunches
Our teachers will be putting in exceptionally long days during conferences - mornings in session with the classroom, and afternoon and evening scheduled conference sessions with each students' parents. This will leave VERY little opportunity for our teachers to have a decent meal during the week. Let's show our teachers how much we appreciate them by providing them with lunch and snacks for each day.
