Oak Hill’s Student Services Department is pleased to announce our fourth annual Stress Less, Laugh More Week starting April 3rd!
Our goal is to emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle and to teach our students positive strategies to deal with stressful moments. Each day will have a different theme with fun activities and will conclude with a school-wide PAJAMA DAY! Back by popular demand, we will also have therapy dogs on site for interested classrooms to visit. This is a great week to promote stress management, positive relationships, and help-seeking for all of our students.
Thank you for your support,
Kimberly Gallagher, Cammy McCleskey, Ginny Phinney, and Christy Ryder

FCPSOn extends student learning and increases equitable access to technology and instructional practices that lead to personalized, meaningful learning experiences which provide opportunities for deeper understanding and development of Portrait of a Graduate attributes. The FCPS Strategic Plan Ignite includes access to contemporary and effective technology as a component of the Student Success goal.
