Dear Families,
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of our families for your incredible support and participation in our recent strings and chorus performances. It has been an absolute joy to witness the outstanding talent, enthusiasm, and dedication displayed by our students and community members.
The power of music is truly remarkable, and it was evident throughout the performances that our students poured their hearts and souls into. The countless hours of practice, teamwork, and determination have resulted in outstanding showcases! We look forward to our last concert (band) next week. We hope you can join us!
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
 Our strings and chorus students gave wonderful concerts this past week. We appreciate all their hard work, as well as the hard work of their teachers: Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Field, and Mrs. Peterson. Our last concert will be the band concert on May 24th at 7 pm at Franklin MS.
The Safety Patrol program is open to rising 5th and 6th graders at Oak Hill! This program offers the opportunity to demonstrate responsibility and leadership and take an active part in keeping our school environment safe. Students chosen for the program will be assigned posts throughout the school and on buses to ensure the safety of our students during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal.
Interested in becoming a Safety Patrol for the 2023-2024 school year? Please fill out the application. Applications are due no later than June 7th.
The last day for library checkout is Friday, May 26th. All books are due Friday, June 2nd. If students are finished reading library books, please turn them in as soon as possible.
Sometimes it is a challenge to find books! Some ideas of where to search:
- Desk at home or school
- Reading corner in classroom
- Car (under seats, in the trunk)
- Closet
- Under the bed
- Bookshelf at home
If a book is lost, please email Melissa Dolenc, at mrdolenc@fcps.edu for information on how to pay for the book.

The Summer Book Exchange is a fun event where students swap gently used books. It will be held during school hours on June 6 and 7. Books are being collected now through Monday, June 5. Students may bring in gently used books, leave them in the Summer Book Exchange bins (located by the front office and kiss-and-ride entrance), and take a receipt good for an equal number of books (up to 15 books per child). Please tell your kids to take only one receipt and write the total number of donated books on it. On June 5 and 6, each class will have a chance to go to the book exchange with their receipt and “shop” for their selections. We welcome book donations, especially for Grades 4-6. And we also need volunteers to help us with this event. Volunteer now at our SignUpGenius page. If you have any questions about this event, please contact Tara Finnerty at tfinn2011@live.com.
