Wolf Pack Family,
The week before Spring Break has been exciting!
Our students completed our Power of the Pack Challenge. During this challenge, classes were recognized for displaying excellent behavior across the school building. Every time a class earned 6 stickers, they earned a puzzle piece to decorate and display in the lobby. This collage below represents our community coming together united in the common goal of excellent behavior. We are so proud of our wolves for achieving our goal!
On Tuesday, we celebrated our students' success with a surprise Reptile World assembly. Mr. Michael (pictured below) educated our students about a variety of reptiles. Our students even had the opportunity to touch Banana Bread (not the food!) as they exited the assembly. You can tell by the pictures below how exciting this event was.
Mr. Michael shared that we were one of the best behaved and engaged audiences he had ever performed in front of! Way to go Wolves! Mr. Mitchell, our fabulous school counselor, spearheaded this initiative and assembly. Thank you Mr. Mitchell!
Tomorrow is March 21st. On 3/21 we recognize World Down Syndrome Day. Please consider wearing your most exciting socks in recognition of this day.
Next week is Spring Break - can you believe it?! When we return, we cannot wait to come together as the Oak Hill Wolf Pack to showcase some of the amazing learning that happens every day at Oak Hill. We hope you can join us at Oak Hill's Learning Showcase (5:00 -7:00 pm). There will be food available for purchase from 5:00-5:30 pm, then the showcase begins! Please RSVP on this google form by April 1st so we can get a good idea of the supplies and food needed. We will also be exhibiting selected student artwork that night.
If you haven't yet done so, please consider filling out the principal evaluation survey (more details below). Your input matters!
We hope that all of you have a relaxing and enjoyable Spring Break. Enjoy time with family and friends. We can't wait to see our wolves return on April 3rd.
In Partnership,
Kelly Durso, Principal
Cali Loewenberg, Assistant Principal

As you may have noticed, our renovation is nearing completion! During Spring Break, do your best to avoid the playground/field area. The construction team will be working on the new basketball court, as well as working on preparing the trailers on the field to be removed. There will be construction trucks on the playground, making it unsafe for playing on/walking through. Thank you for your cooperation!
