Hello Wolf Pack!
Welcome Back from Spring Break! We hope all of our Oak Hill Elementary families had a restful, fun, and rejuvenating spring break. It has been absolutely wonderful welcoming our students back this week and seeing the hallways filled with their energy and smiling faces once again.
Field Day
Our students wasted no time jumping right back into the swing of school! I was incredibly proud to see them demonstrating such fantastic teamwork and resiliency during Field Day. Whether they were collaborating with classmates, cheering on their peers, or pushing through challenging activities, the Wolf Pack spirit was on full display. Thank you to our staff (especially Ms. Croy, Mr. Germain and our specialist team) and family volunteers who helped make it such a successful and memorable event for the kids.

Next week, we are proud to celebrate "Purple Up! Week of the Military Child". This spirit week runs from April 13 through April 17. We invite all students and staff to participate in our daily dress-up themes to show appreciation and support for our military-connected students and their families:
-
Monday: Boot Camp Day—wear exercise clothing.
-
Tuesday: Patriotic Day—wear red, white, and blue.

Wednesday: Purple Up! Day—wear purple to support military families.

Thursday: Stars & Sparkles or Spirit Day—wear stars, sparkles, or spirit wear to honor military families.

Staff Appreciation Week is just around the corner, and we are so excited to celebrate the amazing team that makes our Wolf Pack community so special! Our staff goes above and beyond every single day, and we want to make sure they feel extra loved and valued. To help us shower them with gratitude, we’ve put together a special Amazon Wish List that will help us celebrate our amazing staff!
