PTA Reflections Calling all artists! Does your student enjoy making art, music and dance or have an interest in writing, producing films and taking photos? Then join us and have fun unleashing your inner artist with the PTA Reflections! This year's theme, "I Matter Because...," calls for your student's own unique interpretation through the arts. PTA Reflections is an art contest open to all Pre-K through 5th grade students that love art and want to create original works of art in one or more of the following categories: Dance Choreography, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Film Production and Visual Arts. Your student can submit art in all six categories. Download and fill out the entry form. Return it with your final art submission by the program deadline on Friday, November 20, 2020. One entry form must be completed for each art submission and signed by a parent. We will be handling PTA Reflections remotely this year so there are no scheduled art workshops after school. Let's have fun making art!
Oakwood Family Directory As a reminder, all Oakwood families need to login or create an account and input family information to be included in the directory, even if you have done so last school year (your info will not be visible until you do so). You will not be able to access friends in the directory without doing this! We are looking forward to getting this Directory up and running to stay connected to friends! Any questions can be directed to Michelle Ugurlu, Vice President Oakwood PTA, at vicepresident@oakwoodpta.org.
