 Oak Hill's awesome custodial team.
Dear Parents,
We are excited for several events next week at Oak Hill! As you know, we have our annual Lees Corner vs. Oak Hill basketball game on Friday at Chantilly High School. We will be selling spirit wear all next week before school in our lobby. A pep assembly will take place Friday afternoon to send off our 6th grade teams with high energy and good vibes! In addition, I am thrilled to invite Megan Murphy, founder of The Kindness Rocks project, to Oak Hill on Tuesday, March 5th! She will speak to our student body about spreading kindness and fostering inclusivity. The week will culminate with every staff member and student painting a kindness rock! We hope to create a garden in the front of the school entrance for our community to add to and take from. Watch for pictures on Twitter at @principaldevore and @oakhilles. Thank you to the many parent volunteers that are scheduled to come in to help our students design rocks!
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to further support your child’s learning and experience at Oak Hill. My door is always open!
Sincerely,
Holly DeVore, Principal
The Kindness Rocks Project is a movement that seeks to "cultivate connections within communities and lift others up through simple acts of kindness." At Oak Hill, we strive to do the same by celebrating kindness and inclusion throughout the school year. This March we are honored to have Meg Murphy, founder of The Kindness Rocks Projects, come speak at our school about cultivation of kindness and how one simple act can influence the community around us. In conjunction with Meg Murphy's visit, Oak Hill will be doing our own kindness project for our students and community. We plan to create a kindness garden so students, staff and parents can see kindness inside and outside of our school. For more information about Kindness Rocks click here.

Oak Hill would like to take this opportunity to thank our awesome custodial team. They are the first to arrive and last to leave each day. They do so many jobs from clearing the snow, keeping the inside and outside of our school beautiful, while always having a smile on their faces. Thank you to our custodians, Connie Sibrian, Seongkyu Lee, Brian Jolliffe, Deysi Ayala, and
Tam Nguyen.

Sixth Graders practicing their volleying skills in PE class.
In PE we just finished our Dance unit in which the dancers were exposed to a variety of dances that had different rhythms. We are currently starting our striking unit with the emphasis on Volleying. The strikers will perform a variety of different striking skills that will culminate in small game play similar to volleyball.
