Oak Hills celebrated Earth Day with its own nature project. This weekend parents, students, and employees volunteered to help clean up "the oaks" area on the playground. Many hands made the work go quickly as dead wood was hauled away, thorn bushes were removed, and paths were cleared. Thank you to everyone who came to help!
Everyone can Dance! This is the message the Ririe Woodbury Dance Company shared in an assembly on Tuesday. They taught students about shape, space, and energy in movement. This was a great opportunity to learn more about the arts.
Our second annual career fair was an incredible success! This gave students the opportunity to explore careers in law enforcement, farming, dog grooming, transportation, criminal justice, health care, art, and so much more! Thank you to ALL our volunteers who made this night possible!
Thank you military families! We are showing our support by "Purpling Up." Thank you to all who showed their support by wearing purple.
Please join us April 26th from 9:00-10:30 for our semi-annual Oaks Clean-up Day. After a long winter with winds and snow, we have some downed branches and other debris in our Oak Tree area. There are also a few nuisance plants like Russian Olive plants that need to be removed. We are asking for volunteers to come help us clear the Oaks out and make it safer for our students. This is a great service opportunity for our families and Jr. High or High School students who may need service hours. And of course doughnuts will be provided to all who are able to come. If you are able to help, please RSVP at the following link: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=dPKcPX5U9UqN3gGmNuC2B9R99RksAp9CjGjnUB6mkTZUNU1ZSUpFUDFBTlpQSks2WVJTUUlOS01FTS4u

Today we welcomed Akwasi Frimpong, a sprinter, a bobsledder, and the first skeleton athlete from Ghana, to Oak Hills for a special assembly.

At Oak Hills, our school counselor creates spaces for our staff and students to share good things that are going on.
This month of January the challenge is to write something you love about yourself and put it on our snowflake board.
Next time you come into our school take a look at the counselor's board and see the great things students and staff are saying about themselves!
Last month Mrs. Klingler was recognized, and received a grant from Mountain America credit union!
We are excited to see what she does with the money. She has shared some exciting plans for additional supplies for her program.
We have the best people here at Oak Hills!
