Tuesday- March 18th
To show our school spirit and commemorate this special 100th day of school- our classes (students & staff) will be dressing up like we are 100 years old. If your child would like to participate, it's easy! We do not encourage purchasing a costume, but instead find items at home- Here are a few ideas that may help your child dress the part:
- Gray Hair (wig or washable hair spray)
- Hair Curlers
- Glasses (without prescription lenses)
- Shawl
- Robe
- Bow Tie
- Cane / walker
For safety reasons- please wear school appropriate shoes and any canes or walking assistance items will need to remain in the classroom during recess times.
Our OES Battle of the Books Team will be headed to regionals on March 15th.
GOOD LUCK!!

Good morning Little Oaker Families-
We are almost through our mid-way point of our school year. I can’t believe how fast time has flown by. As we complete our 2nd quarter, here are a few things to keep in mind.
*Monday, January 20th is a holiday and there is NO school & NO afterschool programs
1. School resumes on Tuesday, January 21st.
2. Wednesday, January 22nd we will have our afterschool programs
3. Friday, January 24th, we WILL have school and OES has decided we are going to show up in GRAND OAKER fashion.
*We’ll have a friendly competition and our amazing Instructional Assistant staff will get to vote for the grade level that shows the most representation of our Oaker Blue and Gold (yellow).
*The next two weeks will be filled with a great amount of testing to see how our Little Oakers are progressing toward their end of the year goals.
1. Please make sure to help them by getting lots of rest and making sure their mornings start off positively.
*Lastly- Starting tonight we are going to continually see freezing temperatures and not much warmer days. Please help our Little Oakers to dress accordingly. We have extra warm gear in the office if there is any need-
As always- it is a great year to be an Oaker. Have a great weekend! Stay warm!!

Hey KIDS and families! NED’s Resiliency Ride is visiting our school!
The assembly is filled with storytelling, humor, illusions and amazing yo-yo tricks where our kids learn the hidden message in NED's name:
-Never give up
-Encourage others
-Do your best®
Our school received this assembly at no-cost because another school paid-it-forward to us. We want to help pay-it-forward too, and you can help by purchasing a NED-messaged yo-yo. Our sale dates will be Tuesday, November 19th through Tuesday, December 3rd. The flyer is attached. You do not need to return the flyer to school in order to purchase- we will have the yo-yos for sale during lunch recess time and during library time if possible.
As with every NED show time- we provide Each and Every student a school Yo-Yo. Purchase is not required!!

Good afternoon Lil Oaker Families!
Just a reminder, our Harvest Carnival is this Thursday from 4:30 - 6:30 in our OES Multipurpose room. Students are still able to bring in store bought candy and / or dessert items to contribute to the carnival cake walk and rewards. With those donated items, Carnival Tickets for the games will be given to each student.
If you are interested in pre-ordering your tickets, a voucher will be sent home with your student(s) today. I have also attached the flyer just in case the voucher doesn't make it home. As tradition, all money goes to next year's Carnival!
School appropriate costumes (no weapons, blood, etc.) are encouraged, but not required. If you are interested in volunteering during the carnival- please contact your homeroom teachers!! As always, siblings are welcome, but we encourage them to remain supervised at all times!!
